      Pros

      Flexibility is decent with 2 days in office compared to 3+ for others, Whippany campus is modern. You can be exposed to a wide variety of technology. Good opportunities to migrate to other countries as well as Barclays has a global footprint.

      Cons

      Sudden layoffs are common. Senior people laid off while cheaper employees remain. Pay is below expectation and bonuses are spartan. I made more going somewhere else and my new employer isn’t even a bank. Whippany campus is nice but it is overcrowded. If you’re not in the right clique you’ll get thrown under the bus and possibly selected for layoffs. Lots of scandals and just plain screw ups including a past CEO who had ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

      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
