Careers - Working at Barclays
 

Our Culture

Our culture has evolved as a result of the constantly changing world we live and work in. Sitting still in this environment is simply not an option; that's why we are always looking at how we can improve, focus and better serve all our customers.

The result is a culture where everyone is encouraged to stretch themselves, take responsibility for their actions and challenge the status quo by coming up with fresh ideas.

Barclays has always thrived on innovation - our long list of industry firsts is testimony to that - and we encourage our people to work successfully together to achieve ambitious goals. In addition to allowing employees to take real ownership of their career development, we also provide comprehensive support and training opportunities.

Because Barclays includes a diverse range of business areas, our culture varies between areas - the atmosphere on a trading floor, for instance, is quite different to that of a retail bank. The advantage of these differences is that they allow us to attract people with all kinds of skills and ambitions and offer many different career paths.
