I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Apr 2022
Interview
I had 1 round of interview with a hiring manager and a project manager. The interview lasted an hour. Both managers were very professional, well-behaved, and asked relevant questions. You will be asked questions based on your resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about yourself.
They scanned my resume and asked questions on each and every point. I wrote about innovations and resource development. They asked me questions like, "What kinds of innovations did you make?" Were they all your ideas, or did you brainstorm in a group? How many resources do you have trained individually?
What is your proficiency in Excel?
A couple of scenario-based questions related to the job profile
What obstacles did you face and how did you overcome them?
Behavioral questions: If you have trained someone and that person is going ahead of you, how would you feel?
Why do you want to switch?
Are you ready to relocate?
Do check Barclays' site and view their competency framework before the interview.
Amazing, 5 rounds in German language.
Very smooth, quick back to back rounds, and results are quick
HR round, then a Technical round, Then a asseesment round where excel data had to be analysed, then a team fit round, then a director fit round, overall a standard process for any Bank
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Ability to learn, data precesion and taking responsibility
Simple behaviour, not much technical
5 rounds, include one hr call
The process is not quick, around 1-2 weeks / round, but it is pleasant and the people there are being nice
Initial phone screen (easy and conversational, culture based) followed by superday. Superday had mix of technical and cultural questions. Not super difficult. Nice people and not trying to trick you, big emphasis on culture.
