How is Barclays culture? Promotions?

Culture has deteriorated in last few years, of course general opinion, differs from team to team. But still Barclays offers best work life balance (again 'Relatively'). Promotions honestly are hard especially VP onwards. You didn't ask but another factor to consider is learning and keeping in touch with latest tech, which is the biggest downside of Barclays. All the best!

Barclays used to be a good place to work but since last 2 year things have drastically changed. Currently Barclays is on cost cutting exercises and will continue to do so till 2026. Culture, work life balance and Salary hikes all is changed post recent layoffs. Dont see anything changing until at least 2026.

What grade are they targeting most? Any idea?

Top performers will be rewarded well. But yes it’s not easy to stand out. Wlb and culture is second to none. Reasonable compensation (you will not feel exploited for sure). Promotions and growth for top performers shouldn’t be too difficult. The current cost cutting exercise does make things a little different however!
