I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Knutsford, England) in Jul 2018
Interview
20 minute presentation followed by two 1 hour+ interviews with different interviewers.
It was competency based which covered the Barclays values and technical questions. The technical questions were easy. The values bit went well too. As with some banks though they define the BA role very narrowly and one of the interviewers was very eager to tell me that the core BA role is about requirements. As a certified and experienced BA I thought it was a bit odd and displayed a remarkable level of ignorance and hubris Some employers forget that it's a 2 way process - the candidate is judging you too for the right fit.
After chasing a number of times I gave up trying to get feedback. No response or feedback still after 5 weeks. It was a waste of 2 days prep plus travel there and back and 3 hours of my time. Very unprofessional from Barclays.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Identify a time when you recommended a course of action that involved risk - this is the only question I remember from a very bland list - the usual boring blah blah stuff, ad nauseum
Standard process: hr/tech/management.
Tech part primarily was focused on the quant part. Also sql skills were assessed. During the assessment (all stages) main Barclays values were assessed. Overall - nice process, only downside - very time consuming.
Very good easy moderate any one crack it in the world but technically it should be more tough to judge the candidate attitude and always proactive let’s it Very good easy moderate any one crack it in the world but technically it should be more tough to judge the candidate attitude and always proactive let’s it Very good easy moderate any one crack it in the world but technically it should be more tough to judge the candidate attitude and always proactive let’s it
Overkill competency based as well as a technical and a business interview. For a role I was doing as a secondment for over two years. Ridiculous. They are behind the time as well
