First screening with recruiter.
Then 2 technical interview with managers and a collaborator
The past experiences and technical question about the post and interaction with collaborators. The use of AI. Some presentation about the company and the services.
3 interviews, first was 20 assorted Java questions and some about my experiences. Second was 2 hours long, code review, more questions, coding challenge, architecture review. Third was culture and values, so mostly a formality.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Praga) in Jan 2026
Interview
At first, the process moved along fairly quickly. I went through two interviews: the first involved livecoding and technical questions. The second interview focused on values, mindset, and a good fit with the corporate culture.
After the process was over, I was told to wait for the results. Several months passed, but I never received any results, not even through the automated system
