      No longer a premiere financial firm to work in

      Vice president

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working from home is allowed.

      Cons

      Too much bureaucracy and office politics get in the way of people actually getting work done. Morale is very low especially with the 'Bad Bank' announcement as people feel unsettled not knowing when they'll be next to be cut. Too much restructuring going on and the feeling is nothing at Barclays is ever stable. Lots of budget cuts and as a result hiring is also limited. Bonus and raise have been horrendous the last few of years. Only higher ups are getting bonuses which is not fair as it's the doers that get the job done, not management.

      No respect of good work.

      Process advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are happy with 20K as basic pay and a max of 10K additional each month, then its a good job for you. You work for 9 hours a day in a good working environment.

      Cons

      The incentives table keep on reducing each quarter with incentives gateways designed only for the top 2% of all advisors. On the whole, even if you give your 100% in the job, the reward and satisfaction which follows is not more than 40%.

      Worst company Ever if you are in Data management

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      *Good pay master but you have to negotiate.

      Cons

      * Senior management is always lost, keeps experimenting for bad to worse, one day their strategy is something else and every other day they * Too many managers for you - One/two in UK, one in India, one may be in US and there is absolutely no coordination between them. Every manager will assign you tasks with toughest deadline possible and if timeline missed even by a day it will be escalated to higher managements. * Senseless managers sitting in between only to disrupt you, had they not been there I guess everyone would become more productive. * No one cares about no one here, very unfriendly people. * Too much power given to manager and no one would ask you for their feedback. * Transport department could not be worse, make you wait and wait for drops , cabs provided like tata winger etc, changes the drop location without even informing you * Food is free but it tastes like feet.
