I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (Londen, Engeland) in Jan 2025
Interview
Interview on site. Asked questions about my experience, python etc. did a fizzbuzz like question for the first round. Was moved to the second (and last) stage, but my recruiter accidentally booked me in for a virtual interview, when it was supposed to be in person. Job went to someone else I believe.
Typical graduate application, a series of tests, and then had to video myself answering questions they asked. The questions asked were not related to the job I applied for at all
