Pros

It's growing and expanding very fast. Good for starting a career in finance. it also offers a lot of opportunities for graduates fresh out of school.

Cons

Still trying to fight its way up there. in the US, it is still less known than the big firms like GS, MS, JPM etc.

Great opportunity to gain some experience for your CV and work out whether Barclays is a good company to work for in the long term - Barclays was very welcoming however there was mixed review on how good everybodys placements were.

Cons

Some worked alot harder than others - some people were neglected, so it is up to you to make the placement what you want it to be!
