Pros

Did not see many positives out here.

Cons

I was recruited as an Assistant Vice President in Barclays shared services in Mumbai. The jobs given to me after joining were not in line with those outlined during interviews and were not at all relevant to my profile. After many conversations with management, I finally resigned . My notice period was 3 months. However, I had asked for an early relieving of 1 month after resignation date. My manager agreed to reduce notice period by 1 month only and HR issued a letter to me that my contractual end date and last working day would be 2 months after my resignation date. since I did not have much responsibilities at work, I approached the MD for early reliving. He agreed to cut my notice period to 1 month after resignation date. In accordance with this, HR issued another letter to me stating my last day of working and last day of employment both to be 1 month after resignation date. I served till this date, completed all exit formalities and left. Now, HR has sent me FNF in which they are asking me to pay 2 months notice pay , have withheld my final salary and not giving releiving letter after repeated reminders.. this is how I'm being harassed further even after leaving the employment . Looks like Barclays can only boast abt it's values but not live upto it..

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
