Interview
Interview over teams.
Quick to arrange but misleading advert. Advertised as hybrid but interviewer very defensive and stated expected to be in the office 5 days a week unless you have specific reason to be at home that day.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Austin, TX) in Dec 2024
Interview
It was nothing like a technical interview. They were just discussing the on the projects that I have worked on. Questions like which design pattern did you use, which database, why etc.
Interview split into 2 stages. Talking interview and role-play.
Both interviewers were really friendly, helpful and informative. Interviewer asked a lot of in-depth questions. Role-play was slightly more relaxed and interviewer was great at explaining. I felt the interview went really well however didn't receive a offer nor rejection. So I assume I'm on the reserve list.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time when you had influence over people?
Tell me a time when you experienced a challenge?
Tell me a time when you worked in a group?
Tell me a time when you went above and beyond?
Tell me a time when you noticed a technical error?
A lot of questions following this format. Was quite intense. Interview lasted 50 minutes. Following that was the role-play. Which I found easier.
