      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Whippany, NJ (US)) in September 2019.

      Interview

      Had an initial call with the HR and was invited onsite to the Whippany office for an interview event. My interview went well. I even got a response from HR that interview feedback has been positive. However, he said to wait for few weeks as some reorg was going on, and then never got back. I sent a follow up email multiple times, but there was no response later.

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY (US)) in April 2019.

      Interview

      The interview process was very asinine had a feeling that the manager was getting a cut from some of the preferred vendors though his team likes real good candidates they would not select you if you dont come from the company that they intend to.

      Interview

      Technical phone call for an hour. Then 3 technical interviews on-site. All questions were algorithm & data structures. Definitely prepare for these questions, I labeled it average because I had been studying for about 2 months.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY (US)) in August 2018.

      Interview

      The interview started with a short talk about my previous experience according to the resume, then moved on to a "write a function" test on a shared screen (sorted merge), the interviewer asked a couple of technical questions. We had a nice talk about pitfalls of Java memory management in the context of low latency environment then I asked about the position and we cut it short as it appeared to be something I was not really interested in.

      Interview

      Interview

      First round contained a HireVue interview which contained coding, behavioral and quantitative type questions. The mail they sent indicated that it would be more behavioral and the coding questions were unexpected. And the entire interview was quite long

      Difficult Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in January 2017.

      Interview

      Terrible and very time consuming interview process. Applied online and had to complete a Business Insight Assessment. After that step, I was invited to take a HireVue online assessment, which was 5 coding questions, 12 reading articles and analyzing graph questions, 5 video response questions (one doesn't count), and 2 type a response/email to a scenario questions. You'll be drained by the end of it and it's a classic example of a company being very cheap during the interview process. At the end of it, I don't even want to work at Barclays anymore.

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY (US)) in August 2015.

      Interview

      Nothing special, typical corporate things. One team hires for another, because probably others left. In person interview - tell me about yourself etc, then with algos, data structures and some board coding things. Met with few arrogant people during the interview. For some reason they think they smart then everybody else and this kind of attitude is during entire interview, it makes experience really negative after all.
