Good CSR activities, colleague engagement activities, new decorated work place building.
No new learning, no peer support, existing employees after reaching a VP destination are recruiting their spouses, childrens and promoting them. So these so called VP's and directors are using their power and manipulating the recruitment.It has become a big family business and the UK leadership is ok with it. Leadership lacks vision. In the name of diversity/equity male candidates/colleagues are ignored for promotion and internal job transfer. For internal job transfer if you know any director or VP(if spouse/Mom/dad then best), then only the transfer is possible....Read More

One of the best company when it comes to work-life balance. Think of it as one of the secured option when you are settling down in your personal life.
0 learning. In fact whatever skills you have learnt previously will be forgotten. Barclays will not be a wise choice in case you are looking for further growth and advancement in your career. Majority of the products run on legacy stack and business want to retain that without bringing any tech stack upgrade for safeguarding stakeholders interest to avoid any customer data loss which is single most important concern for any bank....Read More

A great plus point is that you are working in a Product based company. Great paycheck on 24th of each month. Employee with their family are secured/insured of any illness. No time limit to work from office I.e if you come to office at 10 , you may evn leave at 3 PM or say 2 PM. Great gym and play area. Food are good and colleague here are also top notch educated
Slow promotion but it all depends on which TC you work for Apart from above no such dislike

Flexible office timings and free transport. Office facility is world class and people are helpful in general. Managers are easily approachable and policies are quite transparent and easy to follow
Promotion cycles are virtually non existent and organisations hierarchy is bloated in the middle No travel or relocation opportunity Technology stack is not ultra modern (though not ancient as some other companies)

I really enjoyed the work life balance it provided me in my project. Also the hikes were good compared to any other previous companies I worked before Now slowly the company is realising the Indian market and decreasing the hikes
There are hardly any promotions for experienced employees, yearly hikes are completely dependent on the good relations with your line manager

Work Life Balance as most of the team members are not working beyond 6 pm so certain discussions takes longer and approvals delays ensure we get work balance
Work satisfaction not there and things are very slow as lot of bureaucracy. Strictly hierarchical and lack of direction and clarity

I have worked in TCS before and have many friends across various MNC's. Barclays to me is the best so far! Company spends good money on employee comfort, a nice working space with wide angle monitors, free cab service and genuinely very good. Work-life balance is awesome, mostly general shift or rota based on your role. Mostly UK people, next is India, and some colleagues Singapore, US and Hong Kong. Learning wise, you can never get a better company than this! Absolute best! Thanks to almost 300 years of process refinement! Year end parties, outside CTC yearly bonus... Work from home kit, 2 days WFO structure is the icing on the cake!...Read More
Fixed reporting days to office Limited office locations and basically limited job openings No bench, directly they will fire you... But you can even apply for other positions within the company and get rehired. I feel, No bench is actually good, bkz lazy people don't trouble the hard workers!

Free food, lot of leaves, medical insurance
Some manager will think you as a slave and will keep assigning you works despite of knowing that you are overburdened just to please his seniors. Expected to work for long-hours and its impossible to take all the quota leaves as your manager will always come and say that there is a deadline and all those stuff
