Interview questions [1]
Question 1
mostly coding based. Tested more on java. A little bit about your department subjects (I was asked mechanical engg related questions too because of my dept.)
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Sept 2011
Interview
Initial communication vague as to nature of the work. Understandable considering the company in question. Work ethic, attitude and willingness to learn were valued more in the entire process than almost any other factor. Panel is approachable and friendly and interested in listening to whatever you have to say. They are looking for high performers who'll add value to the work they do as well as the company culture.
