Thorough process and candid questions asked from the start. Initial recruiter did not have a clear brief of who they were hiring and the positions they were focusing on. They were helpful nonetheless.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Barclays (New York, NY)
Entretien
Multiple rounds, this was a situation where I was being recruited by management so I had leverage. Most of the people I met with do not engage with me on the job. Interviewers' focus was more on how commercial I am rather than my actual skill set.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Barclays (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
Interviewed for a senior-level position. Completed two stages, including an in-office interview. Despite reaching out to the hiring team and senior leadership for an update, the communication completely ceased and the role was reposted without any feedback or conclusion offered to advanced candidates. Highly unprofessional process for an institution of this scale. Will never be applying to this place ever again.
Initial Screening Call w Recruiter - high level role description, location, salary band and organising main interview
1st Stage: Interview with hiring manager and one other person from the wider team - competency and technical skills based - this was difficult
2nd Stage: Interview with the Director, this was more free form - discussed mainly motivations around applying for the role, why Barclays etc. Involved a jog through the CV and a light technical Q about industry trends etc.

Question 1
