      Pros

      Overall, the people were great - very willing to help you learn and willing to give real responsibilities to interns. I liked that the program was rotational so interns maximize their exposure to the bank.

      Cons

      There are a few bad apples there and with that said, politics reigns. My advice: figure out who holds the power and be prepared to kiss ass. Also, HR is important - they have the final say in who gets summer offers so beware. BarCap says they are a meritocracy, but this is definitely not the case.

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
