      Pros

      Growing opportunities in the US since it's a relatively new and small player in the US.

      Cons

      With the acquisition of Lehman,it's expense base has gotten much larger. Some of its manual process is not conducive to the growing firm.

      Pros

      good place to work, very high salary, above industry package that is really tempting to grab once an offer is given to you

      Cons

      i see a bit of politics here and there. i also see that the appraisal system is not very efficient

      Pros

      - good overall business strategy - strong performance despite the financial crisis, so a positive atmosphere and pride to work for Barclays among employees - better hours than other banks (good work-life balance) - pay and benefits package is very good compared to other corporates

      Cons

      - still quite bureaucratic in many ways (culture of meetings, internal politics) - limited flexibility to move across the business units except at senior levels - level of performance management can be low / minimal feedback
