Company culture was excellent, big push for a health-working environment and Barclays is easily the most diverse company that I have ever worked for

Thoroughly enjoyed the internship, learned a lot working alongside other interns and joining in with wider team stand-up sessions. Would definitely work for barclays in the future.
Yes
Networking is crucial in Barclays. Speaking to many directors and managing directors should be that so many job roles are filled through a strong working relationship and a good repuation. Barclays core values and goals play a big part in the interview process, make sure you are aware and revise what these are
