"I worked for Barclays for two years as a contract worker, and it was an illuminating experience. The bank was the focus of a number of scandals with a lot of pressure from the media, but that never stopped my coworkers from showing up and doing their best every single day. They were the epitome of grace under pressure."

"I worked at Barclays as a care specialist in 2018 and part of 2019. It was a good company to work for, the compensation was great for a call center. There was a lot of changes made during the end of my time there and the employees seemed to be left in the dark while everything was happening. I'm glad I was able to get out of there before there was anymore lay offs."
