I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays
Interview
Totally unprofessional. I believe the interviewers had no formal training on how to take an interview. walking out the room talking on the phone etc., random people come in ask a question and go out and then again come in. A bunch of novices trying to act smart. Then also for the sake of readers there were random flashing question like method overloading, overridding, what will happen if I have multiple main methods, can we overide using qualifiers etc. there initial coding round was OK(or rather good) but after the F2F interview I felt that they are looking for people from service industry. I expected it to be more on algo's and logic. but sorry it was the same old service based company question. No regrets I just had over expected.
Indetail interview process with appropriate focus on all concept of programming and analysis.
Round-1 with project based evaluation and technologies and tool used for requirement gathering.
Round-2 The continuation with first and certain technically fluent challenging question
Initial CGPA based screening.
Three rounds in total post that.
First eliminatory round consisted of DSA and sql round for screening.
Difficulty Leet Code Medium.Strings question.
Pen paper DSA in person. Leet Code Easy. A sorting variant.
HR or behavioural round.
Final verdict: Selected
I arrived at the Barclays Munich office on Leopoldstraße. A friendly recruiter named Katharina welcomed me. We discussed Java microservices, Kubernetes deployments, and team culture. The atmosphere felt professional yet relaxed. Overall, a positive experience.
