Barclays reviews

-very disconnected/disordered company , nobody knows what is the right thing to do, and how to do anything properly , -perception created of employess as resources, they simply want the right no of people logged in and dont care about anything else.. -People who genuinely want to improve the work environment. find ways to do things better ,basically care about the barclays values(Stewardship,integrity ,etc) will be disappointed after sometime and find the place a farce -nothing is really in place, transport is rubbish, food at cafeteria is rubbish, even the rosters are not decided one week ahead, work schedules are changed on the same day and you cannot even be sure of your break timings, which are changed as per login requirement anytime. IT systems are rubbish , with monitors not working, keyboards missing many keys, software routinely hanging crashing. -Place is heading for doomsday as far as senior management goes , which is why I left after 3 years

Bullying and harassment are daily fare. Salaries are at the low end of the market. long hours are expected and extra efforts are quickly forgotten. Raising the point that the workload is unreasonable and leads to long hours meets a 'work smarter not harder'. I experienced first hand bullying and harassment and know of two other former colleagues having been treated the same way without HR or upper management moving a finger. I raised a case with HR before resigning and it was only met by denial. Not a collaborative environment, a lot of back stabbing and politics. Brown nosing gets you farther than talent.
