The first assessment was quantitative analysis questions. After clearing that assessment they give HireView Behavioural questions like Why Barclays? I am still waiting on the result of the second virtual test.
There were two rounds. One online Technical Assessment round-It contained 30 technical questions(multiple choice questions) and 2 coding questions. We are shortlisted for the one online interview round based on the performance in the technical assessment.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Aug 2012
Interview
The entire hiring process took approx. 2.5 months. I was referred by a BTCI employee. After shortlisting the profile, 1st round of telephonic discussion was scheduled in same week. My interview went well, but I absolutely had no clue of the next step as HRs did not respond, neither through email, nor picked up the contact number they gave. Then after 1 month, I got a call from HR saying my naukri profile has been shortlisted for a role, I told about already been interviewed & being a referral, to which he said its for different team altogether. So a new telephonic round was scheduled & later I was called for face to face discussion within a week. Had stakeholder, managerial, and HR rounds on the same day. But again HR took more than 1.5 month to release the initial offer letter.
