      Pros

      smart people, global firm with chance to work across geographies, interesting business lines. well regarded in industry/externally. solid benefits for staff.

      Cons

      firm is now too large, especially in some parts; middle managers are now concerned about creating & maintaining fiefdoms rather than pursuing profitable growth. employee growth is limited by narrow hiring practices, especially etfs.

      Pros

      It's a great culture and good work and life balance. I also enjoyed the group I worked with. You're introduced to complex instruments as well.

      Cons

      To be honest, so far I have not noticed any downsides to working at Barclays Capital. Obviously, there are the certain people who are micromanagers, but that is everywhere.
