      SpringOperations- Finance- Back Office Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Jan 2014

      Interview

      Standard Application followed by SHL Tests- very easy if you practice. Telephone interview- scripted competencies. Do not try to be creative/ spontaneous- at this stage the recruiter may even be outsourced and is simply seeing whether you check all the boxes. Be enthusiastic, AC- Numerical re-testing if you're unlucky. 1-1 Interview with a VP from your selected division- entirely competency based with a few about why finance- nothing technical at all- again all scripted- 25qs in total about 45 min. Do your research about the role and the industry- barclays website has more than enough and this is all you need. Group Task- rather sadistic setup with 8 candidates in the middle around a table and VPs and Execs surrounding you. Was given a task about coloured cubes- had to follow the instructions given- pretty demanding in terms of logical and spatial reasoning skills- make you clarify all instructions that are printed on the sheet with the HR administrator present. A good test to weed out the introverted and incompetent.
