Barclays reviews

The most dumb thing is that if an Employee Gets a Outstanding rating in 2023 then that person will get promoted only in March 2025. A pathetic policy in a 334 year old company. The hard part is getting Outstanding rating in Barclays for the work in 2023 . After that give 1 technical interview and then 1 values round in 2024 which is more hard since they treat us like external candidates in these interviews and we need to answer all the questions to pass these 2 rounds After getting Outstanding rating in 2023 and after Clearing 2 hard interviews in 2024 the Reality is that Employee will get promoted in March 2025 !!!! What is the point of giving the promotion if the wait is soo long after the employee works so hard with dedication ?

I have never met an HR/ payroll team who lack as much empathy as this one for the UK payroll does. I have had countless run ins with them where they have been absolutely useless, not sending letters for details that I quite clearly need (when sick pay might run out, when I left outlining final pay). They don’t bother to reply for days or even a week or 2 and when they do it is usually the most useless drivel. The final nail in the coffin is they underpaid me in my final pay - I requested my payslip ahead of payday to not get it for over a week as they kept telling me it would be available in the portal (which is only accessible by employees!). Now 3 weeks later after stressful back and forth they are telling me I need to wait an extra week for my underpayment that was their fault even though they had told me a manual payment would be processed. No care, empathy or desire to help whatsoever.
