Cons
Very productivity focused using ControlIQ to track every minute of staff activity. No progression opportunities within department due to this being offshored to colleagues in India, resulting in redundancy. Very slow to implement changes. Frustrating with SLT prioritising productivity over quality - making it hard to mitigate risk Able to speak up - but no action taken afterwards. Lots of network groups but no actual impact or community from being apart of them. Barclays backstepped on their DEI initiatives as a result of US Political leadership - this really brought morale down heavily.
