Pros

Ambitious, "no-jerk" culture, decent pay Barcap has got decent strength across the board. Don't do business just to be fashionable, but aggressive to be a serious player.

Cons

Office politics. Promotion and appraisal system seriously flawed. I've met people that were literally stupid, but got promoted. Shocking and demotivating. Should also focus more on internal talent rather then 'just' poach people from other banks.
