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 online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Oct 2021
Interview
They are not professional. Their hiring manager also dont know whether they want AVP or VP level. Job description was mentioning about VP and when all tech rounds cleared, they said budget is for AVP. I said ok...give me xyz salary at AVP i will be happy to join. HR said its possible only if business is fine and interview feedback is very good. I said ok lets wait for 2 weeks after Hr round. No reply with numbers, followed up and got to know they were in mindset that i want VP role which is their wrong assumption. Hr said I wanted VP role so its not possible which is totally wrong. I already told hiring manager hire me at AVP with my expected CTC. And they dint have budget.
Another joke is before scheduling 2nd round of technical interview, i told recruiter this is my expected CTC and she said its fine with us. I said great and cleared all rounds and after all these good interviews they came up with budget issue. Barclays is not at all professional in hiring.
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
