      Barclays on the rise

      Manager of client service
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary when compared to competitors

      Cons

      Very much London centered. If you are not in London, you are out of the loop. Barclays is aggressive about identifying the bottom 10% of the performers and getting rid of them.

      Great internship opportunities

      Summer intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The internship program here is fantastic, with BarCap running a group of 150+ interns and Barclays Wealth now completing its second round of summer analysts. HR does a great job of balancing on-desk work experience with training sessions, and even roundtable-type discussions with higher management and the CEO.

      Cons

      For interns, the personal experience is pretty much entirely dependent on the team you're assigned to. If luck is on your side, you'll have a great line manager that fosters professional growth and encourages you to ask questions, etc. On the other hand, you could end up with a manager who goes the entire summer without speaking with you and instead asks another entry-level associate to "take care" of you.

      Investment Bank on the rise....

      Summer intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Intern Program. 10 weeks of a well constructed program. They encourage you to meet directors and managing directors - which is a great idea - and the directors seem to be quite used to the idea by now and sometimes take the interns out to lunch

      Cons

      its located in canary wharf - not in the city. some people who like to drive may prefer this, but depending on where you live it leads to a longer commute
