The interview process involved many questions that felt irrelevant to the role and often strayed beyond the scope of my resume. Additionally, there was no sponsorship offered, which was a key limitation. Overall, the experience lacked focus on the candidate’s actual qualifications and alignment with the position.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Barclays in Dec 2022

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
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.
I arrived at the Barclays Munich office on Leopoldstraße. A friendly recruiter named Katharina welcomed me. We discussed Java microservices, Kubernetes deployments, and team culture. The atmosphere felt professional yet relaxed. Overall, a positive experience.
