Pros
One of the best companies I have seen, who provides such a good care to their employees, specially during COVID situation. They provide a flexible environment to work and support their employees in best possible ways. Some of the benefits that an employee get in Barclays are:
* Good Increment while joining the company (Don't forget to negotiate well)
* Flexible working environment
* Very good perks - free transportation; free tea, coffee and soups
* Annual Bonus (not included in your CTC)
* Encouragement for internal job movement. IJP policy is very good.
* Decent Annual Appraisal
* No. of leaves are very good and there are many more.
During Covid, Barclays has extended enormous facilities to the employees, such as:
* Advance Salaries (which needs to be paid back in 6 months)
* Increment in the medical policies
* Additional Cash reimbursement for Covid treatment
*Free WFH kits that includes Ergonomics Chair, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc.
* Transportation for Covid treatment and Oxygen Supply
* A dedicated toll free for all Covid related queries, and many more.
Cons
The only Con I found is that Barclays does not cover the Parents in the medical policies they enroll the employees. You have to pay the premium separately for your parents under VPA.
