Going downhill fast, has potential if it turns around quickly. - Assistant Vice President Barclays Employee Review

Organization is going downhill. Qualified and knowledgeable staff are leaving, senior management are focusing in cost over any other metric. Obsessive outsourcing to low-cost centers and refusal to hire in high-cost locations are ripping apart teams and severely impacting ability to deliver. The business can't rely on IT to deliver solutions and major incidents happen on an almost daily basis. Firm is about as anti-meritocratic as you can get, promoting those in minority groups over ability.
