Pros

Pros from a fresher software developer's point of view at BTCI (Pune technology center India): 1. You'll get to learn a lot. 2. Opportunities to work for very critical and real-time projects that one cannot expect in other IT companies. 3. You can interact with some of the great minds in industry as it's a FLAT organisation. 4. One can get huge domain knowledge of BFSI sector if interested. 5. Satisfactory work life balance. 6. The `Barclays` brand obviously. 7. And they pay you well :)

Cons

Many times simpler processes turn into sluggish requests and approvals game which may slow down your actual work. But it's understandable as BTCI is a part of a huge organisation. P.S. I won't be able to comment on software testing or support profiles.

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
