Barclays Senior Data Engineer salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Nothing much. Only thing to be liked is the counterparts outside India. They are supportive and understand what needs to be done.

Dislikes

...tually everything is framework based and mostly development is plugging into it. Less growth and more politics for bonus, hike and promotion. Some verticals have poor work life balance if the work is good. Only few lucky people will get both work and growth.

Likes

Employee policies are good.

Dislikes

...ant. It can often hurt high performers from getting promoted and add more value. Also, if you are expecting that better performance or critical roles will fetch you better bonus, then I would say its pretty flat. The top leadership is good but accessibility is something you have to work thru.

Likes

Hybrid working

Dislikes

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.

Likes

Better place to learn.

Dislikes

... 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.

Likes

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
