Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'agenzia di reclutamento personale. La procedura ha richiesto 5 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Barclays (City of London, England) nel mese di dic 2010
Colloquio
First round was written test. It was java written test and c# bloke came in the end. He had printed some java Q & A and was asking looking at it. He himself was embarassed when I said something which is not printed in his answer sheet.. Anyway I cleared the test and was called for second round.
Second round was more horrible. Hiring manager started from my pre university days. Questions like why do you like IT and project you did in uni ( I left uni like 7 years ago ) and all that stuff for two hours ! Exhausted towards the end.
Finally they rejected stating I dont have enough exposure.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
What major you took in university? Why did you select that major ? Is there you regrest you have done in your school days ?
it was very positive and supportive, they asked questions about basic java + spring technologies and two rounds of technical interview with sensible task not like leet code stuff. they asked to filter brackets inside string
Asked me to come for face to face interview.
When I went saw 100 to 150 people for the interview.
Got number for interview in the evening 6 PM. When asked they said only 2 pannel is available to take interview. If you have not enough people to take interview then why you wasting candidates time.
Good, interviewer was friendly and not overly stress inducing, which I have found to be common in the finance industry particularly around development orientated roles. Not overly difficult either. Did not ask me about leetcode.
