Hi monkeys,
Just following the trend (saw a post for BAML) earlier today. I was curious to hear people's thoughts on the best groups at Barclays in terms of culture and deal flow and how they place in PE.
Thanks!

Legacy Lehman groups (P&U, NR, Industrials, CMG, C&R) will still yield best exit opps into PE. P&U is the cream of the crop while NatRes has fallen a bit behind due to a couple key MD's leaving (one in general NR and one in Chemicals).
As for PE exits I would place the groups as:
Frequent MF/UMM: P&U
Occasional MF/UMM: NatRes, Industrials, C&R
Occasional MM: Comm & Media, HC, Sponsors, Tech
Nonexistant PE: FIG, RE, DCM, etc
For culture, NatRes, C&R, CMG, and Sponsors have notoriously "chill" cultures while Tech, Industrials, and HC analysts get worked into the ground.
Note that all coverage groups do in-house modeling so if you are a rockstar analyst you have a fighting chance for any PE exit. The hard part is getting placed into a coverage group in the first place as there are 90+ kids fighting for the same 6/7 groups with 4-8 spots each.
PE placement for Barclays coverage analysts are about even with coverage analysts at BAML/Citi, but generalist MF offers are fewer and further in between due to there being no dedicated M&A group and some of its top coverage groups not being so PE generalist-friendly. (P&U, NatRes)
Generally agree, except for the PE placement categorizations unless your definition of MF/UMM/MM is different from mine. OP can decide on whichever category but here is a flavor of opps:
P&U/Nat Res: Carlyle P&U fund (P&U), General Atlantic (P&U), Trilantic (P&U), Vista (P&U), First Reserve Infra (P&U and Nat Res), Blackstone (Nat Res)
HC: American Securities, TH Lee, ACAS, HIG, BDT
TMT (which recently split into CMG and tech): Carlyle middle market fund, CVC, Trilantic, Providence Equity, Siris, Brentwood
Not sure why Industrials so high, also Sponsors has Kelso recently.
This is a very accurate list. As one of the other posters suggested, and as this list shows, a good analyst can get almost any PE exit from most coverage groups at Barclays.
Barclays Sponsors also has recently had Silverlake, Brentwood, FFL, Aurora, TPG, LGP, One Rock, Clearlake, Marlin, Oaktree

Advice on Barclays IBD Group (Originally Posted: 12/11/2016)
I've accepted an offer from Barclays UK for the summer and was asked to make my top 3 groups preference. I spoke with my interviewer who works in RSG who told me that the responsibilities given to a junior will be pretty similar across groups. I am thinking of choosing industries and countries groups rather than product to allow me to gain a broad exposure. I would really appreciate if somebody could give me some insights, does anyone know the conversion rate for different groups? Thanks!

Yes try for consumer, tech, healthcare vs real estate, financials if you want career flexibility

Hey all,
Have accepted an offer for the summer at Barclays as a junior in IBD. Was curious if anyone had any advice for the summer at was Barclays specific. Also any recommendations on desks? Have looked at a few and am particularly interested in the Real Estate desk. Thanks!
Their nat resources desk is top notch.

Nat Res/Power are tops. Then retail, CMG, sponsors, healthcare. I heard consumer isnt as strong as it could be
Anyone know anything about the Real Estate Desk?
I am going to be an SA as well and I know that I want to do Natural Resources/Power. I currently work at an electric coop and I chose my second major because it deals with issues related to energy production and resource management. I just found out that this is also one of the strongest groups at BarCap. I am worried that I will not be picked because of the large number of SA's who will choose this group because of its strength, and because I go to a non-core school and don’t have as much financial/banking experience as others may have. Any suggestions for how to work your way into a specific product group?

Going to be a new starter at BarCap IBD so I wondered:
What time do you have to stay until / what time can you order dinner for free?
What time do you have to stay until to take the car home?
On weekends, can you get the car to pick you up and take you home and do you get only 1 free meal regardless of how many hours you work on the weekends?
Can you use your Blackberry for personal calls or do you all have your own personal phones?
How much time do you have to pass the Series 63 & 79 upon joining?

impatient eh?
my friends in ibd analyst programs once upon a time got meals if they stayed past 7:30/8 and got a car after 9 i think. there isnt much way to track bberry usage and you usually get 3 months to sign up for the series 7 and 63. they arent hard tests.
You are welcome.
or you could wait for the first day of work when everything is explained and you get the handbook
Do any people in BB S&T get access to Seamless web from work if they routinely have to stay after 8 PM? Or is this just limited to IBD?
everyone at the bank will get an account basically. fo-mo-bo everyone works late sometime
Step out for lunch to see tourists having a good time.

Have one coming up in London and was wondering if anyone had experiences of the process?
More generally, any experiences from people at/who have interviewed with Barclays as well would be great.
2 yrs ago they had 1 group excercise and then 2-3 interviews with the hiring desks. The group excercise consisted in deciding if a given client should have invested in a specific mining project in an immaginary country in Africa. You had to provide a multiple easy valuation and then provide further details (SWOT analysis). You had to discuss with your team and then present it in front of 3/4 VP and above people. The other interviews were plain vanilla with valuation based questions, fit and some brain teasers.
heard from a friend that its 100% interviews according to hr
