Barclays Capital - Good People, Bad Management - Anonymous employee Barclays Employee Review

Teams are too lean, and as a result there is no bandwidth to deal with any sudden issues. People are tired and stressed. There is a complete lack of training/planning. BarCap also has a policy of normalisation, so when you get graded you might have gotten a B, but because of the Bell curve that gets marked down to a C. Middle Management has no idea who works for them; if you are involved in BAU work your invisible.
