I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Birmingham, England) in Feb 2020
Interview
Received an invitation for face to face interview, on the day, interviewer wasn’t organised, forgot to print questions, I was left in the room while he went to sort this out, it took longer than expected. It was supposed to be a chat, but I felt I was interrogated for about an hour, without him showing any interest. He told me I will here from him in a weeks time, but up to now, 2 months later, haven’t heard anything. However, I randomly got an email 3 weeks after the interview stating I wasn’t successful for the graduate position, which left me confused as I didn’t apply for a graduate position 🤷🏼♀️
Oh my goodness, that is not a good experience. I apologise on Barclays behalf.
I will share your comments with our recruitment team however as these reviews are anonymous it is difficult to get to the detail of the case to ensure we learn from our mistakes.
