I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Applied for a Data Scientist role completed a first round interview, Machine Learning modelling coding challenge and over 20 page powerpoint deck. and didn't hear back for over 1 month. Still haven't heard anything - the internal Barclays recruiter stopped replying to my e-mails. Very disappointing experience.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Barclays in May 2018
Interview
First and technical interview with two people from the company. Only one of them was mostly talking and they explained what the company do, projects, philosophy, etc.
When they're asking questions about me, background and projects, the one of them really showed that I have not impressed him. He answered my questions very fast and sharp, saying that they have more interviews to do and did not ask anything else. The interview was supposed to be around 30min but after 20 they just hanged up on me, which I consider that very rude.
I did not receive a feedback from the company or the recruiter.
