      Good Organization, just a bit too big to be nimble - Anonymous employee Barclays Employee Review

      Pros

      Great benefits and employee support in London Headquarters - staff canteen, building, gym, 6 weeks holiday, pension plan, and corporate responsibility

      Cons

      As per the headline, it's just too big and too retail-focused to be able to make changes quickly. Because of the size, there's also a lot of stakeholder management and politics -- meaning it takes a strong communicator and self-promoter to thrive.

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
