I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Macapá, Amapá) in Jan 2017
Interview
Easy interview, but not a difficult job role so goes without saying. It was a face to face interview, but I have since heard there can sometimes be 2 people present. My advice is always be yourself, try to relax and never lie ! This way you will appear more confident and at ease even if you don't feel it. I didn't feel pressured at all, the person who interviewed me was very friendly and put me at ease

I had 2 rounds on the same day. It was a very straightforward and welcoming experience. They were also transparent and told me I would make it past the next round.
Video interview, with 5 questions. Just two steps; application and video interview. To be honest they were very basic questions, not very technical. Just prepare very well for basic interview questions.
