Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Went through the typical online hiring process at Barclays. Got my invite to take an online skills and behavioral assessment within 48 hours. The behavioral exam was simple, typically pick your preferences in work attitude and which statement best aligns to how you think. The skills assessment was not difficult but wasn't easy. I had to schedule meetings while adjusting for time overlaps, find patterns in data, and other skills games.

A few days later I was invited to take a virtual interview, HireVue style, basic behavioral questions: "Why Barclays?", "What motivated you to apply?", etc.. After about three weeks I got a congratulatory email stating I've made it to the last stage and that a recruiter will reach out within a few business days. Got an email and an invite for two 1 on 1 Teams interviews. Once again, strictly behavioral, they asked questions about leadership roles, adversity in the workplace and a time when you had to adjust for risk.

Three weeks later, I'm still waiting for an answer on whether or not I got the interview. The recruiters and interviewers, both Directors of Risk, said that regardless of if you are selected, they will reach out an inform you that you weren't selected via email.
