Pros

Barcap is a great place to work. While I was there, I met a lot of senior people who became very invested in my professional development and reached out to me throughout my time at the firm, even though I was only a summer analyst. Also, some of the groups are top on the street in their industry, including Natural Resources, Power, Communications & Media, and Retail.

Cons

Depending on which group you're in, you may get limited deal experience compared to some of the better banks, including MS/GS.
