Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
My role is Delivery PMO. On a day-to-day basis this involves managing projects through various tools such as navigator and Jira
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
My first year of my program was unorganised and i wasn't given enough work. This has improved in my second year though.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
I have developed a greater proficiency in excel, various project management tools and a greater understanding of how to conduct myself in a corporate environment.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The program isn't very well structured and I think you experience is very dependent on which team you are in.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Again this is dependent on team. So in my first year i wasn't given any support but since changing teams this has changed for the better
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
I would say that of which you would expect from a univeristy but i also think the quality of education is poor in comparison to other levels of education
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
I'd say only 20% of my course has any relevance to my role in work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are many sports activities as well as cultural days to promote the various cultures we have at Radbroke
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Barclays to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I wouldn't recommend it in the sense of you will likely make faster learning and career progression at a smaller company but the benefits such as pay and pension as well as the way you are respected in the company I would recommend it.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Barclays?
I would recommend creating a good network of colleagues. In addition I would say to keep on top of the academic side of the course.
