Pros

Barclays is a plc with work life balance and excellent benefits in terms of dental and car park services. The overall package to start work in Barclays are attractive as well. They emphasize on retaining staff and provide courses.

Cons

In Asia, most of the work in Barclays are processing jobs and this has limited value add to individual. Even for work mobility, there is limited areas which you can go to. Unless you are in your retiring mood or you are a parent who focus on balanced lifestyle, this is not a place for career advancement nor add value to your employability.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
