I think it depends on how you classify “good”, what your targets are, what you are aiming to achieve. Barclays is a big organisation so different teams will have different experiences; there are definitely some teams with huge potential/high achievers. And there will definitely be some teams who do not achieve what they should. Personally my advice would be think about what you want to do - be very clear about this, and look to utilise as much training budget as you can. Learn, or Earn. Good luck.
