Barclays taking a month and counting from verbal offer to offer letter for not one, not two, but all SAs with return offers. Are they trying to make sure people interview/accept offers elsewhere? Surely no other bank’s HR is this inefficient?

barclays HR is legendarily bad
Semi-related, but Barclays HR somehow scheduled a SA 2022 superday with a completely different office than the one I had my first and second rounds with.
If you summered at BarCap then you went through HR's onboarding process and their bullshit is nothing new to you (group placement, start date communications, etc.). Business as usual. If you got the verbal just chill out and it'll come.
FWIW - I’ve had two lateral verbal offers at a mid-tier and a lower tier BB for over a week now
Title, comp and start date were decided days ago but neither has produced a formal written offer yet
Which mid tiers if you dont mind me asking?
How long did it end up taking? I am currently on day 9 of verbal but no written
Barclays HR is ass, analyst comp is ass, I should've went to a boutique smh
Lower tier bb. But took me 3 months to from verbal to written. Straight ridiculous.
eh i'd say Barclays is pretty solidly mid-tier
bro might be saying he's at UBS/DB
If you're ever in a competition for world's most dog/cat/bull/horse/walrus-shit HR and you see that your opponent is Barclays HR, do yourself a favor and excuse yourself and never compete ever again. These people have such horrific communication, it almost feels like they go out of their way to be inefficient.
