      Decent money if in good group. Lots of talk and no action - Senior Software Engineer Barclays Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits, solid work environment. Some good groups to work in. Realatively stable work environment with only the occasional - 'house-cleaning' re-org.

      Cons

      Some of the most back biting, incompetant techical managers around. Has turned into one of those firms where 10% of the people make 80% of the total compensation. If you're at middle management or below, whilst they pay well and the benefits are good - don't look for any wall street numbers (unless, possibily, if you're in a research group)

      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.
