Barclays reviews

1. Management is not Employee friendly, especially old employees (they treat them and think of them in management discussions as 'baggage' and thus focus on new-hires). 2. Always give in to any kind of customer demand , whether justified or not. 3. Promotes stretching and over-the-weekend work culture. 4. Things told in interviews are much better and prospective than actually given on the floor. If they told you 10 things, you would be actually doing 2-3 things out of that only and sometimes not even those, but totally different . And justify by saying this has become more critical now , so you need to do this. 5. Separate team-divisions are not comfortable with each other and inter-team movements tough if team heads do not like each other. 6. Deadend of career to people who are stuck up in low standard work and 'mirage' of IJP is shown. 7. IJP policies are non-transparent and some teams are always looked as sub standard, so people stuck in that team are not able to move. 8. Sick mindset of management, inhumane behaviour and treat you like their servants. I have actually seen some girls crying in cafeteria as they got scolded for small things. 9. Some people are overworked, some are underworked. 10. Lie blatantly in while hiring and ask things at very higher level to show the that company is great. But reality explodes when you come on the floor.

Barclays Shared Services is one place where you will find that polishing your manager's apples is what works. The management is never transparent and has an in your face attitude when confronted and deals with these issues with high handedness. If you do not like it leave but do not expect us to be fair in our dealings with the employees. Bias in management decision ranging from verbal recognition to reward and recognition, even in sending people to just be a participant at an award ceremony, to sending people onshore in UK is blatant. You might get a top rating, appreciation from the UK head of businesses, so much so that they do not want anyone else in the team to handle their work and never let you go, but might never get any opportunity just because the management wants you to take crap or leave.
