Barclays Software Developer reviews

Too many processes - making the development process slow

As for feedback and improvement ideas: full force against such from management. First nobody wants to improve things. Then, if somebody wants so, nobody listens. Then if somebody listens, nothing happens. What finally may happen is that they tell you to shut up and work; unless there is scandal. When scandal comes, managers start to push responsibility downwards. Technology: there are new technologies but since nobody has the view on those, they work worse than old ones. Bureaucracy: impossible to achieve any goal in the time frame it would make sense. Not complaining about 3 days instead of 2... but more than a year instead of less than a month?! Internal tooling unusable. Talent retention: it's considered something that HR must solve alone, quickly and possibly without expense. What we get is an insult from employee perspective. Environment: the office is _dirty._
