Difficult interview
Application
I interviewed at Barclays (Frankfurt am Main)
Interview
Amazing, 5 rounds in German language.
Very smooth, quick back to back rounds, and results are quick
HR round, then a Technical round, Then a asseesment round where excel data had to be analysed, then a team fit round, then a director fit round, overall a standard process for any Bank
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Ability to learn, data precesion and taking responsibility
Simple behaviour, not much technical
5 rounds, include one hr call
The process is not quick, around 1-2 weeks / round, but it is pleasant and the people there are being nice
Initial phone screen (easy and conversational, culture based) followed by superday. Superday had mix of technical and cultural questions. Not super difficult. Nice people and not trying to trick you, big emphasis on culture.
