Likes

Barclays at over all corporate level have good policies

Dislikes

In Barclays, there is no or weak HR, line manager are made without their skills and caliber, Line manager post is more on favouritism rather than those who deserve it. Line manager make their own rules and decisions and no work ethics i have seen.

Nothing, the folks form other countries, especially UK are so racist, cannot withstand them. They hired me on permanent role but now asked me to leave, where as the contractors in uk are being extended, and the worst ever decision is made by another contractor in UK. Open racism’s.

Dislikes

Everything. People working for more then 10 to 15 years try to be your boss where as they don’t even know how to play an IC role. Wonder what’s wrong with the management, because the boss only knows how to please the super boss well.

Dislikes

Toxic managers, every stupid call center guy promoted to manager and AVP even in operations. They think the company is created by their dad. Worst culture no leadership only toxic management. More focus on stupid things rather than work or growth.

Dislikes

The company culture is worst and not at all reliable. You get no support from your managers at any point of time even you have not done any mistake. Worst and toxic culture for a women to work. No importance to your work and they give importance only to your silly mistakes done once or twice for the year.

Likes

People friendly atmosphere and also they provide cab facilities and one time meal which actually is a good option to survive there

Dislikes

Appraisals are not nice and if an employee is facing any hardships in his or her profile they hardly take any action just to support them in terms of moving that employee to some other profile so that it wouldn’t cause them mentally pressure

Likes

The company culture is very good. The transportation service is absolutely free and top notch. The office at pune is a great architecture.

Dislikes

The job security recently has gone down post recent lay offs and their 3 years plan.

Dislikes

I work in Barclays LTS office, Pune. GTIS in Barclays is the worst department to work with. I would suggest better to work with other departments rather than working in GTIS. Appraisal and promotions are very less as compared to other departments. During Diwali and Christmas as well management of GTIS gives nothing to it's employeesnor sweets nor gifts. During year end review management has only one reason that company is in loss so less increment this year but people working in management get good humesha. Every year we got to know the same reason from the management. Very less bonus is given , in that too half of the bonus is deducted in Tax 🥺 Barclays GTIS is doing much of the cost cutting. Office politics and feviritism is also the other problem here. They give less respect for the people working for more than 10 years. They get very less increment as compared to the one who are newly hired. I have been working in Barclays for more than 10 years still my monthly in-hand salary is less than 1 lac which is so much disappointing to me. Barclays values are just followed on paper and not in practical....Read More

The office space is good, work is intresting if your teams works on solving for core banking technologies, pay is average but if you bargain hard there is a chance they might stretch their budget. Team cultures is pretty laid back with middle aged folks who want to settle in their roles.

Dislikes

There's a fair amount of office politics, people usually settle into their role and don't adapt quickly to new technologies and being a bank innovative solutions take a back step and all the soltions have to be vetted for security approvals

Only Barclays as brand and for salary and perks

Dislikes

Worst management, Noida management, no respect for their employees. Everything Noida management does for Pune location Barclays, all VP's , AVP's and trainers are corrupted and involved with each other for harrassing and targetting employees. Do not even think of going in Barclays as personal banker retail voice process. They will torture you utmost. Making you feel to leave organisation at any cost. Simply do buttering and l*ck there asa for promotion and staying there. Rebellions stay away....Read More

I understand no company will look at the personal well being if an employee it's all the manipulation which works that's the game trick it hugely impacted my life i gave my best for sure company is not going to love you back

I would say it is one of the best work life balance culture holding org in the corporate world. But at the same time you would get to work only with the medicore mindset people.

Dislikes

Definitely a retirement plan company but not good for freshers in terms of the enthusiasm and innovation.
