I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Barclays in Jul 2022
Interview
Most of it is resume oriented, they won't ask you anything out of the ordinary if you're really skilled like you've showcased in your resume. You kinda get to dictate where the interview goes. A lot of emphasis is given on the projects that you've created.
