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
