      Equities Trading System Engineer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays

      Interview

      I applied online and was invited to attend a Critical Skills interview. The job description mentioned only a few general skills, so I made sure to thoroughly prepare for all the listed technical skills, core competencies, and values. The interview was scheduled as a Microsoft Teams video interview with three interviewers. However, when I joined, only one interviewer was present. A second interviewer joined later, and both kept their cameras turned off. Given that it was a video interview, I expected all participants to have their cameras on. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere and affected my confidence. The interviewers immediately began asking very difficult technical questions, including several topics that were not mentioned in the job description or reflected in my resume. Partway through the discussion, a third interviewer joined—also without turning on their camera—and repeated questions that had already been asked. While I was responding, one of the interviewers left the meeting abruptly. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and unprofessional. The panel appeared rushed, and the lack of coordination and engagement made it the most disappointing interview experience I have had.
