Entretien
Face-to-face interview at Barclays
Was advised by the recruitment agency it would be a competency-based interview.
It was a mix of competency-based and unprofessional questions in a particular unrespectful attitude. The most unprofessional and personally unpleasant interview ever. I would have left, I only stayed because referred by a big recruitment agency, so it would have been taking the risk to be blacklisted from it.
I will never re apply for this Bank. I was contacted another recruitment agency 2 months later for a role in another business unit, I said NO.
If it is like that just on interview, I don't dare to imagine how nasty it is inside.

Only interviewed internally but fair process with competency based questions. External process can include psychometric testing for various roles in the business too. Interviewers generally make you feel comfortable too.

They hire through ABC consultants. The process is lengthy n no timely feedback is shared. ABC is very slow in conducting interviews and their recruiters don't provide timely feedback. It took 2 months n still did not recieve a feedback hence had to assume I did not clear.
