Customer support collections (Current Employee) - Las Vegas, NV - January 20, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? It's not what i thought it was. They took 8 months to come up with an incentive program and its quarterly now the metrics are kinda insane also. Alot of micro managing What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Micro managing and silly processes not to mention the software freezes every 5 minutes and seems like they don't want to solve the problem. The system will freeze while you are on the phone with a customer and lots of times your internet thru the remote session goes out makes it hard to do your job What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Deceptive. They will tell you one thing and do another and they are not for the employee. My manager changed positions in the first 3 months i was there What is a typical day like for you at the company? Glitches, glitches, and more glitches

Awesome workplace!!
Relationship Manager (Former Employee) - Hamilton, OH - January 7, 2023
Barclays have integrity and respect for their employees. The benefits and bonuses was everything. Best company I ever worked for. The only reason I left was because I had family issues to handle. But I was told whenever I wanted to come back I could. And I’m in the process!
Pros
Everything!
Cons
The onboarding took over 2 months. It’s very slow to get hired.

Okay place to work
Developer (Current Employee) - Whippany, NJ - December 30, 2022
Everybody globbed into a big building without much high level interaction. We know what to do and get our jobs done. Lacks diversity in IT, but the salary is okay.
Pros
work from home most of the week
Cons
can't work remotely

Fun place to work with colleagues but they will bleed you dry
Customer Care Colleague & Cash and Device Specialist (Current Employee) - United kingdom - December 12, 2022
Branch based staff are the most undervalued colleagues, supporting 5+ departments with the most risk and are completely underpaid. Management keep adding workloads and say we are detrimenting the customer but they are dentrimenting our mental health. Constantly changing work priorities to whatever supports them
Pros
Overtime avaliability
Cons
Workload

Good compensation, good culture, rather slow
Technology Analyst (Former Employee) - NIL - December 1, 2022
Can be quite slow moving, but there are people who really genuinely care for your interests and needs. Internship program can be better managed. Overall moderate experience.

Productive and a fun place to work
Credit Risk Intern (Current Employee) - Wilmington, DE - October 26, 2022
Barclays is overall a good place to work. There are lots of resources to help you build your career. Lots of cross-functional knowledge-sharing sessions are organized that help new and existing employees understand the entire business as a whole

Decent job
Analyst (Current Employee) - Whippany, NJ - October 22, 2022
Long and arduous onboarding process but love the team I’m on and am looking forward to building a solid career here. The position is hybrid but the office environment is great. The daily work is not too bad and I’m learning more and more everyday.

Jobs at Barclays
Sr Management a Mess
Assistant Vice President, Risk Lead Fraud Analytics (Former Employee) - Wilmington, DE - October 21, 2022
Senior Mgmt. likes to puff out their chest and it impedes employee growth and company growth. Employees not open to change with a 'know it all' mentality

Average place to work
Software engineer (Current Employee) - Whippany, NJ - October 12, 2022

Good place
Relationship Manager (Current Employee) - Henderson, NV - October 7, 2022
Nice place. Good training really good benefits. The only hard part was working from home during training. It would have been easier to learn on site.

Amazing place to work if you’re looking for opportunities for growth
Collections Manager (Current Employee) - Wilmington, DE - October 5, 2022
Amazing place to work if you’re looking for opportunities for growth. Benefits Are great and the work environment is friendly and you’re always able to get help if needed. Training could have been better but it was not due to the company it was due to the systems and working from home hybrid.
Pros

Cons

Used to be a great organisation to work for, but no longer.
Business Manager (Former Employee) - Worthing - September 20, 2022
When I started back in 1989 it was very much a family oriented business. Lots of after work activities such as football, stool-ball, quiz nights and general get together. Over time though these faded away and now the modern Barclays is all about sales with little attention paid to the clients experience, such a shame.
Pros
Good progression as long as you get out of the retail side of things, otherwise you’ll just be treated poorly.
Cons
Very little work life balance, and no staff care such as spotting when members of the team are starting to show signs of stress.

Productive and good place to work, fully from home, what was important for me.
Bereavement Agent (Current Employee) - Poole - September 18, 2022
My typical day at work was from 9 till 17 but very often I work to finish case, full customer service, gain positive result of my work satisfying all parts of cooperation: customer, employer and me. Very important was for me to learn new skills, materials, operations, technics and types of customer service. I like to be professional so to know is for me very important. I was aware that I can always ask questions, call for help if I need it and expect respect for my time, feeling and confidence.
Pros
Fruits at work place
Cons
Short breaks and time pressure by Telephony

Ok place
Consultant - Senior OTC Cleared CDS and IRS GMI Conversion SME (Current Employee) - New York, NY - September 14, 2022
Average job nothing more to say. Didn’t not feel a team spirit and they weren’t ready for a change. Mid level management needed to be more involved and willing to accept change.
