Pros

not many now a days, they are ripping first year analysts off, not much upside in working for barclays capital or group.

Cons

they bucket analysts together, so no room for outperformance, only mildly. HR is not very helpful, very annoying with their programs.

Pros

Top notch colleagues. Collegiate atmosphere. Amazing access to management. A phenomenal place to learn.

Cons

A disruptive approach to organizational management and perpetual cost cutting calls has permanently jeopardized this firm's ability to attract or retain talent. Reorganizations, reporting line changes, layoffs, offshoring and a constant fixation on commoditizing IT are making this company less and less fun to work for.

Pros

Provides learning opportunites and allows career improvement. Senior management are very co-operative and flexible and appreciate hard work put by employees.

Cons

Very focussed on asset management and restricted to certain asset classes depending upon the business unit you work for. Transition between units is difficult.
