Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'agenzia di reclutamento personale. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Barclays (Poona) nel mese di feb 2017
Colloquio
Worst experience ever... They say it scheduled interview bt it is worst than a walking... I'm waiting for interview for almost 5 hrs and after that they took my interview and the interviewer is female who doesn't even know what I'm explaining in what technologies I have worked she just know that she has to ask me few questions that she listed and just not select me...N they select candidates who has Apache camel in there resume...If they require only Apache camel then why the hell they not mentioned it in job description

Altre recensioni di colloqui per Software Engineer presso Barclays
The interview felt less like an assessment of Java engineering ability and more like a pub quiz for obscure syntax trivia. Instead of exploring problem-solving, design decisions, debugging skills, or real-world development experience, the focus seemed to be on recalling exact language details that most professional developers would simply look up in seconds.
It's a curious hiring strategy: rejecting people who know how to build software because they can't instantly recite syntax that modern IDEs autocomplete for them anyway
Overall, the process felt outdated, disconnected from how software is actually written, and more reflective of academic memorisation than professional engineering competence.
