      Software Developer Interview

      20 Mar 2009
      Anonymous employee
      Tokyo
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Tokyo) in Jun 2008

      Interview

      I went through a recruiting agent to apply for the Software Developer position. The first step was to take a 3 hour online skill test in certain programming language. That test was pretty tough (but now after I joined the firm I probably use 5% of those skill). After I passed that online test, I had 1:1 interview with the Line manager and Senior Manager. There were no technical questions from both of them. When I passed, next step was a group interview with a senior member and manager of another location but working for same global team. One the senior member asked some technical questions, but those were not very tough. Manager of another location asked pretty much same types of questions that I faced with Line Manager and Senior manager. After passing this stage, I had HR interview, and the last 1:1 interview was with global head of the team. During the interview process I felt that they put importance to the right person with right attitude to works, team play, communication skills, etc. rather than on technical skills. This was different compared with my experience with other firms. Advice: Be prepared with details of past job/project experience, what difficulties you faced, how you overcame, etc. rather than putting too much time on preparation of technical skills.
