I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Wilmington, DE) in Dec 2016
Interview
After a participating as a finalist in the OpenBracket Delaware competition, I was invited to interview with Barclays. The recruiter set up a phone interview with a hiring manager. The call never came, and after 4 days, there is still no explanation. This is very unprofessional, and I suspect they are self-centered people who consider applicants (and hence employees) as mere monkeys.
