Barclays reviews

1) Work pressure. similar type of work on daily basis -so no growth 2) Work from home does not mean you will be working less. This is the catch to provide you laptop and blackberry and burden you on work 3) No transparent process in Appraisal. so lobby/oiling works. so tjose who are well politically stay here for long term 4) No promotion . the role on which you have joined you will have to work on same role and no defined process to move to next level 5) Whatever a 2yr guy does in support even a 10 yr B4 will do same work and when rating is provided manager has lot of point to tell what you have done when a 2 yr guy is doing what u also are doing 6) no onsite. if u get a one/2 week onsite then it is a loss for you. as there is no per diem amount. whatever u spent at onsite they will provide the same amount once u provide the bill and same money u will get in 2 months. 7) any monetary claim amount is paid after a month or more(45 days around SLA time) 8) some manager who have joined 2-3 yr back does not want to switch job as they are getting paid very good salary and for them no work. just co-ordinate and bother the technical people 9) You can not escalate anything to HR as it looks like HR process is there just to recruit the people and have 2 days of induction 10) No internal position change as your current manager does not release you 11) firing at singapore center - so no job security 12) Some managers tries to bully you

- office in an extremely rural location (Knutsford) which isn’t accessible to a lot of people by train or bus, but still management forces people to come in twice a week - due to office being rural it is not a good place for young people or grads as you will be driving to work and no socials afterward. Your early career experience will suffer really badly here - pay is below industry standards for software engineers - very difficult to get promoted - very outdated technology used compared to industry standards - too much controlling. Cannot even watch tech videos on YouTube - very hard to even get access to anything needed. Mainly because there are massive teams segmented and need their approval - a lot of red tape for even a small thing. Makes life hell - no funded tech training or certifications. No budget for this. No professional development days. No focus on upskilling - really toxic sexist people being promoted. Directors protect these people.
