I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Nov 2012
Interview
-Very slow..
-Irresponsible HR
-Lack of communication between technical and management guys
-compensation depends on your negotiation skills
-no standard range of offers
-better to go by employee reference.
-no standard process for recruitment
-location may vary depends on project
-internal increment process is completely in dark no transparency at all.
-get the package at the tone of joining only
Started with an HR screening followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager, offer rolled out within 2 weeks of the interview. Positive feedback overall, interview questions maybe analytical in nature.
Amazing, 5 rounds in German language.
Very smooth, quick back to back rounds, and results are quick
HR round, then a Technical round, Then a asseesment round where excel data had to be analysed, then a team fit round, then a director fit round, overall a standard process for any Bank
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Ability to learn, data precesion and taking responsibility
Simple behaviour, not much technical
5 rounds, include one hr call
The process is not quick, around 1-2 weeks / round, but it is pleasant and the people there are being nice
