It started with an online assessment that included a series of math-related questions followed by a coding problem. The assessment was fairly challenging and tested both analytical and problem-solving skills under time pressure. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it past that section, but it gave me a good sense of the technical expectations for the role and areas I can focus on improving for next time.

Interview
Had 2 interviews with Barclays for a position in Northampton and never got back any feedback just an automated email. I tried to follow-up with them for 2 months and then gave up. I would expect atleast a couple of points of what did not went well or what I did do well. For an organization at this level was not expecting this from them.
