      Pros

      good brand, some good people in front office

      Cons

      incompetent middle management, the majority of whom are dangerously underqualified to work in any position of authority within banking inadequate processes for almost everything blame culture - managers will not take responsibility for anything, backstabbing, always pass the buck to someone else politics are machiavelian - performance reviews in particular I could go on and on - i completely agree with previous review - the worst place I have ever worked

      Pros

      good place to work, very high salary, above industry package that is really tempting to grab once an offer is given to you

      Cons

      i see a bit of politics here and there. i also see that the appraisal system is not very efficient

      Pros

      - good overall business strategy - strong performance despite the financial crisis, so a positive atmosphere and pride to work for Barclays among employees - better hours than other banks (good work-life balance) - pay and benefits package is very good compared to other corporates

      Cons

      - still quite bureaucratic in many ways (culture of meetings, internal politics) - limited flexibility to move across the business units except at senior levels - level of performance management can be low / minimal feedback
