Pros

Barclays Capital provides challenging and rewarding work. Advancement or transfer to other positions is available. The Technology is current reviewed. Training is available but, with the work load, it's sometime difficult to take advantage of. Barclays Capital is careful in managing risks, so it does not pursue bleeding edge technology but does stay with the industry.

Cons

Barclays Capital is always letting people go - even when the economy was good. If you get caught in the cross-hairs, you're gone. Also, being a global firm, it's common place to be working unusual hours - any time in the 24 hour cycle.
