Pros

Good work life balance. Good office infrastructure

Cons

Barclays provides strong industry exposure , but the workplace culture is undermined by unhealthy practices. Office politics and favoritism are common, and genuine contributions often go unrecognized due to credit stealing. My manager repeatedly asked me to leave the organization, which was discouraging and created a hostile environment. Even after completing challenging work, there was no encouragement or appreciation. When positive outcomes occurred, the manager took credit, but when issues arose, colleagues were blamed. A more transparent recognition system, constructive leadership, and fair treatment of employees would greatly improve morale and collaboration.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
