Pros

Good learning opportunity. Better tools and technology.

Cons

Lots of politics.

One of Barclays account managers is rustic, one who assumes their employees are maids and servants. He is the gatekeeper of that account who will make sure people will not get released.

This is a women-friendly company, and managers are in favor of women as they have an advantage that men do not have. All credit, salary hikes, and promotions will be given to women employees, even though one works hard and deserves it.

They will get the work done from you like machines (International Business Machines) until the machine hangs (until blood gets sucked out of you). They are a puppet show for the client, and you will have to dance as per the steps given by the client.

You will feel like you have come onto the streets after you work for a few years, as there is no decent career growth.

Very less (7%) or no variable pay.

Advice to Management

Introduce skip-level meetings so that managers stay within their boundaries.

Recognize the work of deserving people; otherwise, they can sue you by joining another vendor and ruin your business.
