Pros

The internship program here is fantastic, with BarCap running a group of 150+ interns and Barclays Wealth now completing its second round of summer analysts. HR does a great job of balancing on-desk work experience with training sessions, and even roundtable-type discussions with higher management and the CEO.

Cons

For interns, the personal experience is pretty much entirely dependent on the team you're assigned to. If luck is on your side, you'll have a great line manager that fosters professional growth and encourages you to ask questions, etc. On the other hand, you could end up with a manager who goes the entire summer without speaking with you and instead asks another entry-level associate to "take care" of you.

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
