Got invited for the Assessment Centre which consisted of a group exercise, an individual exercise, one individual strengths based interview and one technical interview. Prior to this, I completed one numerical test and one logical reasoning test before getting a telephone interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Give me an example of a complex piece of problem you solved and what data structures you used?
2. Give me an example when you developed an algorithm and what performance metrics you carried out?
3. What are the typical stages in software development?
There wasn't a lot unexpected questions and the pace at which they fired questions at you was fast which means you really have to think on your feet fast.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Birmingham, Inglaterra) in Nov 2025
Interview
First stage: Online assessments. Pretty self explanatory, simple maths and cognitive tests.
Second stage:
Solo video answering questions. These questions are behavorial questions in style. They also have a mix of personality questions that are multiple choice.
Third stage:
Virtual assessment centre. Two interviews with a mix of behavorial and "technical" questions. The technical questions are not very technical, They asked a general question and I related it to my personal projects.
Online Assessment - Maths, non-verbal reasoning, situational

During the virtual day, I was interviewed by a managing director and an employee from the analyst team.

Question 1
Name a time you had to work to a deadline that if you did not meet there would be great consequences.
I completed my initial application by submitting my resume and answering some personal questions. Then, I received a link to complete some tests(behavioural and logical reasoning). After I completed these tests, I received a link to take a coding test. After these, I didn;t hear back from them.
