I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Manchester, Inglaterra) in Apr 2018
Interview
One phone interview -asking basics about java, myself and what I am looking at Barclays. One on-site interview which lasted about 3 hours and one online coding interview where I have been recorded the whole time. The interview overall was average, just because of the peer pressure of the recorded video rather than the difficulty of the problems.
