I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Jan 2011
Interview
Just conversational with the Director and an unorganized VP. Director asked me questions on performing business analyst roles. The VP was demonstrating me the MS application that they were going to migrate, and the high level document, which was most basic I have ever seen as a specification, and was gauging interest about the project.
Technical interview with focus on SOLID principles and design patterns. Asked to write a code to sort an array using couple of algorithms and explain time and space complexity. Explain different data attributes to store data
I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (Noida)
Interview
Interview process involves multiple rounds over 3 to 4 weeks or may take even longer. The process moves a bit slow so you need to be patient during the process but do keep following up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about experience in previous company, roles and responsibilities
It was 1 hour round with more focus on skills, experience; specially core java and managerial type questions. Interviewer was more interested in leetcode type problem and solution. It was like some exam, not a two way discussion.
