Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
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.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
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
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
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 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.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Barclays to a friend?
Yes
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.
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.
