      Generous benefits and support

      Pros

      35 hour working week, generous holiday allowance, provision for flexible working, brand recognition, and extremely supportive redundancy/relocation package.

      Cons

      A large company has to work in a certain way, and Barclays are no exception - there is a lot of 'pidgeonholing' of job roles, and the company is so large it's hard to stand out. As a large company, they tend to be a little more inclined to consider 'staff' as 'human resources' - something to be relocated and redeployed to fit in with a strategy.

      Pros

      Good for learning, development, promotions and career change. Good pay/benefits. Very good brand to work for and having the name on the cv will add value.

      Cons

      Lack of mobility, orientation program can be better and less boring. A typical new joiner might take upto weeks to know some very basic things.

      Pros

      Good salary for an IT person

      Cons

      Managers are spending most of their time creating administration overhead, justifying this way their existence. For each task, one has to follow so many rules and procedures, which often contradict each other. Failing to comply any of them, will draw upon you a witch-hunt storm. Frequent uncompensated overtime is implied.
