I was interviewed for a contract role. There was no JD shared despite of me asking for the same. The interviewer(s) changed in the call and I was introduced to two new interviewers who would take my interview. They were shooting questions one after another without letting me breathe in between. I have over 21 years of experience and without a JD it was difficult for me to understand what to mention and what not and what exactly skill they are looking for. Luckily I didn't get through but if I would have been, I would have said NO. It was very very unprofessional interview. It seemed like they had made up their mind and looking for excuses to fail.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
Terrible experience! 3 stage interview, passed all stages. Verbally offered the job and then ghosted by hiring manager, head of department and recruiter! Followed up numerous times and nothing! Not even basic courtesy to say direction has changed. So so poor!
One Recruiter meeting - one on one to discuss experience and the role
One Technical interview around one week later - ~5 detailed technical questions. Fairly formal format and style
