Barclays Lead Architect Reviews

If you're considering a career move to Barclays, India, it's wise to pause and ponder. The corporate winds are shifting, and not in favor of a gentle breeze. Management, in their quest to pinch pennies, seems to be playing a game of 'how low can you go' with salaries. The HR department, once the custodians of employee welfare, are now crafting policies that might make Kafka smile—if he worked in corporate. Take, for instance, the grand unveiling of the new car lease policy, with Orix riding shotgun. The previous policy was a financial joyride for employees, but alas, it's been driven off the cliff. In its place, a new scheme that seems to have taken a detour from employee benefits.

Incompetent management. Leaders with past ethics cases are promoted to senior positions. Extreme bias and mistreatment if you do not say yes to everything your manager says. Women are mistreated and not provided support.Most of the leadership is busy with site visits and party preparations not actual work.Senior leaders are busy buying gifts for UK stakeholders visiting. If you are capable and independent as a leader , this will ruin your career....Read More
