Barclays Contracts ?

[kaiser78]

I have been offered a 2nd interview with Barclays for a "6 month" contract at Radbroke Hall, but have been informed by the agency that Barclays insist that they can terminate the contract without notice, whereas the contractor has to complete the contract and cannot give notice.

Has anybody else experienced this sort of thing with Barclays ?

Spoke to an agent today about a London based role at Barclays, exactly the same terms. Agent said it was the Barclays 'take it or leave ot approach' Was also asked to sign opt out form now and provide 2 refs by the agency.

Role does sound good and the above would not stop me taking it, except I am just accepting extension to current contract as per posting yesterday.

What's it like now there at Radbroke? Some people said it's gone down hill now and all the contractors are of a 'heads down and get on with it' mentality...

I'd still love to go back, though I doubt it'll be as good as last time having accumulated some "wife and kids" baggage now

Seems to be a bit like that - but in typical fashion all the Contractors here seems to be new or slightly used models and as such are a bit unaware so just plod on with the job in hand.

Make no mistake though it is the best setting for a gig I've ever had
