I applied through other source. I interviewed at Barclays
Interview
First round was getting general information. Second round was a behavior with some technical questions. They tend to pull questions about my resume which had past work experience and projects.

General behavior questions about a situation surrounding past experience
The interview was easy. Interviewer asked me about OOPs. The questions were easy and basic. Then he asked me to code merge sort in notepad. Asked about the time complexity and space complexity of merge sort. Then he asked some behavioural questions. That's all. Interview happened for nearly 15 mins.

What is method overloading and overriding
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Knutsford, England) in Dec 2024
Interview
In person stage of interview. Two 50 minute interviews, mostly evolving around behavioural questions, answers written down so its important to use STAR method as they probably look for keywords used to filter through interviewees. I was asked only one technical question about system design, make sure you understand basic system design as this was the commonly asked question for all interviewees when I interviewed. Both interviewees did not have my CV on hand. Advice would be to learn system design and brush up on basic DSA questions, alongside using the STAR technique and including the company values into your responses.
