I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (City of London, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
App direct to Barclays. Telephone interview, online psychometric test then assessment centre encompassing competency and business line interview plus a 15 minute presentation on an innovation I launched in my current role. All fairly standard and to be expected for a role at this level.

Question 1
how do you handle conflicts? how do you balance technical debt etc?
Phone Screen with basic vetting questions. 1st round with hiring manager, 2nd round with peers. Asked specific questions about the job. I wanted more time with the hiring manager, but only given an hour.
Great, encouraging and friendly. Very informative. Took 3 rounds in total (remotely) and was kept up to date throughout is that not enough words? No apparently not. Still not there. Ridiculous rules.
