      I had a project on my resume and they asked me why I stopped at that stage and didn't add extra features. Also will I consider taking it forward and how will I expand it.

      Application

      I interviewed at Barclays (Pune)

      Interview

      Amazing Interview Process, Have strong fundamentals in your core domain (for you — programming, data structures, project work) if applying for a tech role. Because tasks involve actual coding, DB/SQL, OOP, etc. GeeksforGeeks +2 Glassdoor +2 Be ready to discuss your projects/internships in detail — what you did, challenges, how you contributed, decisions you made. Interviewers often dive into that. Glassdoor +2 GeeksforGeeks +2 Prepare for behavioural questions — they matter a lot. Practice storytelling using something like STAR (Situation-Task-Action-Result) model. Be ready to speak about strengths/weaknesses, teamwork, conflict handling, motivation, future goals. Indeed +2 Graduates First +2 Understand why you want to join Barclays, what attracts you to that role in Barclays (values, growth, learning, domain), and be able to articulate that clearly. Testbook +2 congrapps.com +2 Do your homework about the company — know what Barclays does globally, its business areas, recent developments if applicable, role-specific domain, etc. Interviewers appreciate informed candidates.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      For software-developer/engineering roles: Expect questions on programming (Java/C++/Python), OOP concepts, data structures & algorithms (DSA), databases/SQL or DBMS basics, plus possibly some DB + SQL queries. For many, the first round (Online Assessment) included OOP-MCQs, one DSA problem, one SQL question. After that, interviews asked to walk through your projects / past internships, talk about your contributions, challenges, and decision-making.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Barclays (Glasgow, Escocia)

      Interview

      Sham interview that was scheduled in the last minute. It consisted of 2 sessions. I got no feedback, and one of the interviewers was more interested in lecturing me rather than asking me the questions they were supposed to ask (on a case study/exercise that was presented to me right before the session with them).

      Question 1

      Why did I apply for this position.
