BarCap SURVEY SAYS


"One of the best"

Barclays Capital has “one of the best investment bank cultures around,” says one insider at the firm, claiming to have “verified this with friends who have worked at both Barclays and other investment banks.” Others say that the “fast-paced and meritocratic” environment proves to be a strong place to “start a career, with good exposure to business and different divisions,” along with “good learning opportunities,” and with juniors “able to address all kinds of problems.”

Two words that sources use again and again when describing Barclays Capital are “diversified and open.” To promote this, the firm features “open-concept offices without partitions to encourage conversation and sharing,” resulting in a firm that is “cohesive and people focused,” “without much office politics.”

Looking to the future, most insiders at the firm think Barclays Capital will do well when the economic crisis simmers down, with one claiming that “the firm is better positioned than a lot of its peers.” That said, some sources say 2008 saw “meager year-end bonuses due to the recession,” with other banks “performing worse than Barclays, but still paying out more.”

Tips from the inside

Study what you like

 

Barclays Capital is said to be “not too particular about your educational background with regards to the subject of graduation.” But sources say the firm is still “very selective” and the interview process is “very structured,” with the candidate’s personality proving to be “an important aspect.” Every applicant is expected to do “two analytical online tests” consisting of “verbal and mathematical” questions. This is followed by “a phone interview to assess interest” and a “full day at the assessment center.” The day includes “group exercises to assess teamwork” and “two sessions of face-to-face interviews.”
