Don’t be fooled by a few sofas and potted plants in the office! - Business Manager Barclays Employee Review

Constantly work more hours (anywhere between 5-10 per week) an there’s no such thing as overtime. Micro-managing to the nth degree. Complete unwillingness to change and processes most of which are insanely bureaucratic. Decisions often have to be taken at MD level and they will leave it to the last minute (if you’re lucky) or just mug you off completely so you can’t finish your tasks. Get emails at weekends and whilst on holiday. I don’t check but it makes Monday mornings absolutely horrific. Senior leadership do not embody any of the stated values.
