Pros

It's a great culture and good work and life balance. I also enjoyed the group I worked with. You're introduced to complex instruments as well.

Cons

To be honest, so far I have not noticed any downsides to working at Barclays Capital. Obviously, there are the certain people who are micromanagers, but that is everywhere.

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.
