Pros

not many now a days, they are ripping first year analysts off, not much upside in working for barclays capital or group.

Cons

they bucket analysts together, so no room for outperformance, only mildly. HR is not very helpful, very annoying with their programs.

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.
