Pros

Barclays has a decent reputation since it came out very strong post crises. It is nice to work for an independent bank.

Cons

with American Barcap sr management and a retail mentality of the employee base it is very difficult to deliver and exceed expectations.

Pros

Not only do you manage money, but you are part of a team that manages the largest pool of assets in the world. in addition, BGI pays for you to get smart -- generously reimburse MBA, CFA, etc.

Cons

Can get a bit monotonous at times, sometimes bordering boring... Project work can vary and add interest, but the key is to manage your funds to its benchmark (yawn)
