I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Glasgow, Schotland) in Aug 2025
Interview
Quick pre screening round with the HR.
Then 90 minutes interview with the VP & developer, Previous experience in depth & Java basics were been asked. Overall relaxed and positive experience
Short coding interview regarding simple addition and variable management. There was also a personality questionnaire regarding ethical compass and work habits. Work habits seemed redundant due to the feasibility in managing, catering answers.
