Pros

The biggest benefit is the friendly coworkers. It is also a very large global firm with good internal mobility and networking.

Cons

This past year Barlcays paid record bonuses, but not to finance. The pay in finance was very inconsistent and the bonuses were a joke. The promotions were also inconsistent and downright frustrating.
