I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Prague) in Jan 2026
Interview
At first, the process moved along fairly quickly. I went through two interviews: the first involved livecoding and technical questions. The second interview focused on values, mindset, and a good fit with the corporate culture.
After the process was over, I was told to wait for the results. Several months passed, but I never received any results, not even through the automated system
