Pros

Pros from a fresher software developer's point of view at BTCI (Pune technology center India): 1. You'll get to learn a lot. 2. Opportunities to work for very critical and real-time projects that one cannot expect in other IT companies. 3. You can interact with some of the great minds in industry as it's a FLAT organisation. 4. One can get huge domain knowledge of BFSI sector if interested. 5. Satisfactory work life balance. 6. The `Barclays` brand obviously. 7. And they pay you well :)

Cons

Many times simpler processes turn into sluggish requests and approvals game which may slow down your actual work. But it's understandable as BTCI is a part of a huge organisation. P.S. I won't be able to comment on software testing or support profiles.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
