I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Apr 2018
Interview
They had an initial phone/linkedin discussion and then a coding interview. By far, the worst process I have ever seen. They reached out to me with an exciting email about the position and if am interested I had to complete a coding challenge which would take 3-4 hours. They sent it to me the next week after initial chat and the coding challenge took about 3 hours. There was no feedback after that until i asked for it. After 4-5 days, i got a standard rejection email. From my perspective, I had done the coding challenge well and the least I would expect is to get some feedback on my coding as I have spent 3 hours for that test. In spite of repeatedly asking, they never got back to me with the feedback. Now coming to something more worse, i was reached out again after 2 months as some other position opened up. Again I was pretty excited and there were emails back and forth. Suddenly the recruiter stopped responding to the emails for no reason whatsoever. Extremely disappointing interview process with no basic etiquette from the recruiting team.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a question on Options (and pretty much expected off the cuff knowledge of the Greeks)
