Interview
On campus interview took 2 weeks for a response. No acknowledgement of emails aka thank letters which I look down upon. I have had better experiences with other recruiters regarding emails. When the person responded he tried to make out that he was busy. It started off with him talking about his background nothing about the job was mentioned. Poor interview. I have had a lot better interviews with other companies that actually conduct a interview relevant to the job.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Sep 2013
Interview
Sinple technical question. Any one can clear the interview. But the process was very lengthy to get the offer letter. Lots of formailities. Takes lots of patience to join in the firm
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Bolton, England) in Apr 2015
Interview
Submitted my application online, after completing and scoring quite high on the brand values test as well as the numeracy and verbal reasoning tests was invited back for an interview. At this stage I found the supporting documents I submitted such as my CV and covering letter made a big impact on being invited to the 1:1 interview.
Didn't get enough time to prepare for the interview as was told to book an interview slot within the next 2 days. Interview was quite simple went quite well, there was an emphasis on digital technology advancing in personal banking and expect candidates to be a little computer savvy. Basic customer orientated STAR questions probing to give motivations behind responses and how the result benefitted the business as a whole.
