      Barclays Shared Services Noida India Management Lacks Transparency, Ethics and Fairness

      Project management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Easy to get in to the company (BSS Noida India) as their interview process is sub-standard

      Cons

      Management plays all kinds of dirty games. People in management position are biased, lack knowledge, display lack of maturity. IJP process is rarely an honest, open process. Poorly run leadership at Barclays Shared Services Noida India

      Thank you for your review. It is really disappointing to read your experience with us as that is clearly not the culture we aim to deliver for our colleagues. I would however like to stress that we have a robust and fair selection process for new colleagues that operates on merit of skills, knowledge, experience and fit to our culture and values. This operates across our firm globally.

      Sinking ship

      Assistant manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Provide great learning, atleast till 2015, before the leadership changes. Good trainings, cool working environment, free meals, free cab pick and drop facility.

      Cons

      After recent changes in leadership during 2016, they gave fired tenured good leaders as well as work force and hiring absolute crap. So one can very well think of where they will be standing soon! Squeezing bonuses and annual increaments no matter how good one has performed, they are religiously giving 15℅ efficiency by cutting The work force since 2015 as managers have it as their KPI. No growth for a non political employee. Highly political environment and cut throat competition.

      Hiring Freeze

      Product control

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Hiring freeze creating internal opportunities, that were otherwise closed to internal mobility. Health Center, Gym, On-Site Bright Horizons Daycare at 745 7th Ave a big +.

      Cons

      Hiring freeze negatively impacting morale. Cant fire, cant hire. Increasingly more people are talking about leaving, not staying. Very limited advancement beyond VP, queue for Director is "Pie in the Sky". Will never happen, unless you're one of the "Chosen ones". No differentiation between top performers and bottom of the barrel. Year-end comp is comparable.
