      Pros

      Barclays Capital offers a professional and friendly working environment, good opportunities for career progression and internal mobility. I have worked for them 4 times longer than at any other employer in my career and this is entirely due to the variety of roles I have performed during this time and the opportunities offered to me.

      Cons

      As with most investment banks, the hours can be hard. However, that's pretty much a matter of personal choice. Also, they can be pretty ruthless when it comes to "poor" performance. It's a fairly regular occurrence for the bottom 10 per cent to be cleared out

      Thanks for taking the time to write a review and really great to hear that you have been able to build a strong career with us and take advantage of internal opportunities. I would like to comment that we do have a strong performance culture to ensure we are supporting our colleagues to manage their jobs and careers. We do not have a "clear out" culture however, like all organisations, the colleague and the culture need to be suited to each other and sometimes they need and want different things.

      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
