      Pros

      Barclays trading floor is just like the trading floor of any other investment bank. If that is where you belong, then Barclays could be a good company to work for.

      Cons

      You do not receive much support as you try to find a desk that is willing to hire you. Network and work those connections to get hired by a desk.

      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.
