I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Glasgow, Scotland) in Sep 2023
Interview
Was done online, There was two stages with the first being a online programming test. The second being a online interview. The programming test the timer glitched out a little with me and ended early but they still allowed me through. The second interview was with 2 separate people back to back. The first interviewer was great but the second just did not seem to have any interest or enthusiasm to be there.
