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. The halls of Barclays have been echoing with the sound of empty desks following the mass layoff fiesta in December. 23. Word on the grapevine is that another round of 'corporate musical chairs' is on the horizon, possibly in the sultry heat of July 2024. The hiring freeze has left managers skating on thin ice, trying to perform a balancing act with the headcount of a skeleton crew. So, if you're mulling over joining the ranks of Barclays, it might be prudent to treat it like a game of hot potato—exciting to consider, but handle with care and maybe don't hold on for too long. Consider it the dessert of your job search buffet: tempting, but perhaps best saved for last....Read More

Job is secure and steady in Barclays. One can do same work for 10 years and get some increment and bonus every year. Company takes care of its employees.
Many people in Barclays are like Govt employees. Outdated systems and technologies and too many controls hinder innovation, self development, and learning

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

Nothing
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

Company culture, they rate you based on your adherence with the culture and it really matters to them
For promotions they really promote you only when they think that you have done something outstanding.

Hybrid working
Shit level of office politics, crazy favouritism, no growth opportunities, no hike and worst of all is management use pip as a tool to pressure employees to work extra and many time even without overtime pay.

Value to our opinion and good work culture and product control here is vast
Tough to get promotions need to wait until there is vacancy and depending on experience and talent still there will be so many people in pipeline so it depends on your manager and director when you can get promoted The bonus is quite disappointing here and depending on your rating the hike will depend but on an average u will get 8/9%

Salary is good and behaviour of people is good
No strategy to promote employees Only have to apply through internal portal where chances of selection takes years Also everywhere buttering wins Everything is operational means for leaves you have to beg No skill development Management is setting target which is vague Too high targets too achieve and then it leads to no increment A lot of improvement is needed in management

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.

Work life balance is good.
Redudancies are impacting resources in last 2 years. They are backfilling resources at highers rates from vendors by removing employees. Also capable and deserving males are not getting promotions as most of the positions are reserved for diversity.

Barclays at over all corporate level have good policies
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.

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