    What’s it like working at Barclays?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Barclays appreciate the work/life balance, with a friendly atmosphere and the ability to work as a team. There are opportunities for growth and career development, and the company culture and work environment are praised, with a focus on respect, integrity, and employee bonding. Compensation and benefits, including salaries, bonuses, and perks like health insurance, are seen as positive aspects.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as potential issues with management, including changing priorities and a lack of direction. Workload can be high at times, particularly in certain roles. While opportunities for growth are seen as a positive, some employees have noted limited promotion opportunities due to the size of the organisation. Additionally, the migration of work to offshore locations has been raised as a potential challenge, leading to a loss of talent.
