Barclays Capital is a great name to work for.

Cons

Since the Lehman's takeover, the Barclays Capital ethos is at risk of disappearing. A number of new hires have been brought into IBD at a senior level in London with the result that there is now a large disconnect between the employees and IBD senior management.
