Painfully slow, bad communication, unreliable and unexplained demands for experience in niche areas, ads for roles continue to run even after they are filled. Jobs re-advertised and HR not proactive.

Question 1
Specific niche market experience for communications role
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Apr 2013
Interview
People were great; they were very friendly. They explained the job, roles, responsibilities with full clarity. I talked to quite a few individuals, some of them senior managers. In terms of what would be expected of a good interview, this interview fully met all of the expectations I had. I was very pleased with the discussions. There were several 15 minute breaks which allowed me to rest. During interviews I was encouraged to ask questions about the job, roles and responsibilities, future of the firm etc.
Two rounds with one focussed on technical and control aspects and other focussed on values and soft skills. Its more of description of problem statement to final conclusion format in the interviews
