I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Barclays in Jan 2022

It was a non grilling and comfortable discussion. It went on for an hour. Most of the questions were around my experience and application of my expertise in their role. There were some situational questions too testing various skills.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Jun 2025
Interview
I applied in April, one assessment and next round in May with a VP and after My final round in june with four interviewers continuously, one particular interviewer from india is more focused on showing his skills and kept asking position irrelevant questions, then the reposted the job while keeping me on hold for 40 days and rejected me
It was smooth, held 4-5 rounds of interview, the interviewer always joined time. Professionalism was followed thoroughly and HR was very kind as well. Nothing bad or noteworthy to highlight
