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

Amongst big names that ive worked with, Barclays despite having its own big brand name, stands nowhere in comparison. The workplace is operated wholly and solely by Ops team, you dont even know who is your HR team or partner is. If you do not participate in their vicious circle or have a diff opinion, you are considered an outcast. This is the worst org I've ever worked with!

Work life balance is good along with good number of paid holidays and management actively encourages to take holidays. They constantly explore new ways to work.
The management keeps talking about gender equality but men still dominate the work scene and less opportunities for women and deserving candidates are either not given the right opportunity due to bias or insecurity. The HR will low ball you for salary despite all hue and cry about pay parity and transparency. They need to invest in operations and administration technology tools like JIRA etc to make processes more efficient....Read More

Good work life balance, areas to learn and adapt the latest tools and technologies. Great support from the leadership team, many more.
Office politics within few teams, some sort of micromanagement.

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

Barclays is one of the best places to work. It gives you opportunity to learn and grow. It supports you in your ups and downs of life.
I think the promotion process and leader choice could be better. Sometimes they just give in to the pressure created by few which is actually not required. I suggest you create leader who genuinely feel for your employees.
