by Barclays

Rating

9.1/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • Understanding my customer market, what are their needs, their problems and designing propositions for the bank to develop and deliver to meet those needs.

    9/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • developing new skills and enhancing existing ones

    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • 10/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • 10/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • The company has set up an apprenticeship team - these are great, it is a little more difficult with your line manager as its not BAU for them and now takes away headcount. Also have a review with them every 3 months is difficult to arrange and adds to the stress.

    8/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Lots of places to go for support, they've introduced several tutors and clearly explained how they can all help. And they have a great online platform which is fantastic for the type of program we're on where we're not on campus 24/7

    10/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • 10/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • There is but the company is diverse geographically, so my local team is very small which makes social events difficult. They are trying to improve this.

    6/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Barclays to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • Great benefits and opportunities - I have managed to get my BA honours degree and now studying a masters whilst maintain a decent salary (and no student fees). It has its problems like any large bank does but generally is a fab place to work for work life balance.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Barclays?

    • Be yourself, we like a variety of personalities and what they bring to the table. We love a structure, follow the STARL format for any answers in interviews.
