Pluspunten

- good salary and benefits - for someone: possibility to work from home

Minpunten

- extremely bureaucratic organization, it's really hard to work as a developer - no admin rights on your laptop; you always have to request million additional AD groups / permissions / software to work - bad IT support. If you have some issue with VS or your laptop it can take days to get some response from some outsourced guy from support (you don't have admin permissions, remember? So you cannot fix it by yourself) - at least in Prague there is no enough place to work together with your team - terrible openspace environment (they call it "dynamic working") . No walls - you have to listen all 20-40 people sitting close to you. Very noisy and always someone walking around all the time. You don't have your own desk and you have only one curved display (you cannot choose peripheral). If you want to meet with all your team members, you need to ask another team not to come to work that day, so you have some places to seat and work - in the company there are 2 people for one desk. Barclays even has a mobile app where you need to book your work place one day before - projects and solutions in most cases are legacy and splitted between several countries, mostly India and sometimes USA/GB

Pluspunten

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Minpunten

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
