Thoughts on Barclays S&T?
Been recruiting for S&T. The Barclays people generally seem extremely pleasant and friendly, and hear they’re very strong at FI. What are thoughts on the best desks, culture, overall strength? Thanks

My experience with Barclays is that I found the culture to be a bit more corporate than American Banks. The last time I was on the floor everybody had a suit and tie on, that was several years ago so maybe that has changed. Also was way too quiet for a trading floor and it felt like people were very nice but felt like they were wound tight. It was like they were trying to beat the Lehman out of the place. They are pretty strong in mortgages (MBS, ABS, CMBS) and munis, don't know too much else about their other groups but I will say that I liked everyone I met.
Surprised Barclays is strong in Munis given their British origin... thoughts as to why?
They acquired Lehman US business in 2008.
What was the lehman culture?

I only do macro/relative value rates so can only speak there. Barclays' strongest division is in macro products, but even then the franchise is probably dominated towards European/British corporates, banks and LDI etc. Compared to the FICC powerhouses of Citi, GS, and DB etc, it's been hard for them to compete for fast money flow. Compared to other European banks (like Credit Suisse, UBS and BNP) they're probably the better bank, but I'd say NatWest given their RBS legacy have a superior fast money clientele and better pricing.
Any idea on the bond side? Securitized products or HY desks?
How were bonuses as compared to other places?
