      I interviewed at Barclays

      Interview

      If you are getting calls form recruiters for Barclays Khardi Pune location, I would suggest there is no point in attending interview specially if you are called for Infrastructure, Unix, Windows, VMware. These positions are open since more than six months. You will find interview panels are not shortlisting even after answering 200% correct answers. The Panels sit with their laptops and in front of you search keywords from your resume and ask questions. Don't know the reason but may be the Panels don't want to fill the positions might they want to save their jobs. I have question if the Panels are so talented then what is need to look for the technology expert? My today's experience was very bad, I interviewed for Chef Cookbook development, the interviewer was quite happy with me , I showed him my git repo and codes, we discussed on coding etc ..but suddenly he got a call from other panel, he went out and when he came back he told me that he done with the interview and I can leave for the day, he didnt bother to discuss on the topic that left incomplete when he pickup the call. In the background he was called by another panel who know me by some reason and he asked this panel to not shortlist me. There is internal nexus of these interview takers that not shortlisting people just making work for Barclays recruiters, third party recruitment agencies but they are not filling the positions. If Barclays really want to hire the people, conduct interview by third person who are not associated with the project that candidate going to join. You will never find the candidates as long as these panels are taking interview. I twice interviewed and found interviewer is more interested to beat you with his knowledge rather than observing positive things within the candidate.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY)

      Interview

      2 consecutive interview segments- first to summarize current role and address general fit, second involved answering technical questions (on algorithms and options). Good exposure to the team the role would work within.

      Question 1

      They asked a question on Options (and pretty much expected off the cuff knowledge of the Greeks)
