Pros

Great environment and work/life balance. Used to be the top of reward packages but have definitely declined in last five years.

Cons

Where to start. The main issue is that Barclays changes on what sometimes feels like a fortnightly basis and internal empires are constantly being fought, won and lost by execs. The constant change is never ending and causes so much stress and uncertainty within what can sometimes be a hostile working environment. If you challenge or speak up, your career has ended...it boasts about values but breaks every one as an organisation.
