Barclays reviews

They make you work more than you get paid for. Senior management are on a power trip and I have never seen any company with such a bad salary bracket in every field. I want to start off by saying, if you are going to apply for a job at Barclays then take my advice save yourself from working for a company who will pay you peanuts but expect you to work harder than the senior managers. Not only is Barclays really bad for giving you salary that is lower than ever other financial services out there, Resource Solutions are the worst for making it look as if its a good salary and they are doing you a favor. The staff at resource solutions will not even try to negotiate a better salary for you. Everybody within this organisation only thinks about themselves. I was working for Barclays for a short while but i noticed a lot, by talking to many of the staff within my department and other departments and nobody had anything positive to say about their job. I also witnessed senior managers prioritizing their friends and family to get jobs before other better qualified staff. Micromanagement is also very common, but it ok for managers to do what they want but when it comes to you they treat you like a child. Also, if you are Asian or from any other ethnic background, the interview process will be even harder for you than others, so your chances of getting a job here are even more slim.

Only get good grades/bonuses if leadership know you well in general and you shout about what great work you are doing - somebody with the same quality of work and output will get a lower grade if they do not go round telling everyone how great they are compared to other louder colleagues. Leadership can’t keep anything to themselves, telling team members confidential information without a second thought. Company car restrictions are frustrating. It is almost expected and normal for you to work outside your hours, there is no hesitation to amp up workload to unreasonable measures.
