I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (Cambridge, England) in Apr 2017
Interview
Applied for a 3 month FTC. Applied online, was called by Barclays recruiter and offered to take part in a 'virtual' interview. This consisted of some prerecorded questions that I had 30 seconds to prepare for off-camera and 2 minutes to answer via video recording. Ten questions in total, the last one of which wasn't a question but an opportunity to add any extra information I felt was relevant (as in this scenario, you are unable to steer the conversation in any way).

Question 1
Describe a time you exceeded a customer's expectations
I interviewed at Barclays (Hemel Hempstead, England)
Interview
Digital and automated. You didn’t meet a hiring manager or anyone from the team in person until your first day. Video questions and lots of screening required of you which causes delays in onboarding.
My interview was a one stage process. It was an entry level position and so the questions reflected that. I attended the interview at one of the branches and the interview was taken by the branch manager and assistant manager.
