Tedious and time consuming. Before they arrange an interview you have to complete your work history and education. Afterwards I got an email asking me to complete their online assessment based on scenarios you can face in work and a mathematical assessment where you are presented a sequence and you’re given four multiple choices to click which answer matches the sequence and you have under ten seconds to answer each question. After I completed the assessment immediately I received an email to say they will no longer be processing my application and this delays me from applying for any jobs with Barclays for the next six months.

I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Barclays (Truro, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
The in person interview was last round after a test and call screening. I thought they gonna ask me 15 questions however they only asked 3. The interview was only 10 mins , I was shock because it is too short and make me feel like I did so bad that why they didn’t want to ask me more. I didn’t get the offer but I wanted to know why they only asked me 3 questions. And I feel like I should have dressed more slay as well. Because everyone dress is stunning. But I think the vibe was quite good but eventually none offer
I interviewed at Barclays (Sunderland, North East England, England)
Interview
Straightforward and friendly interview with lovely staff. It included an office tour. Very engaging and a not nerve-wracking experience, at all. Very pleasant experience which made me want the job more, they also contacted us the next day with offers.
