Probably the worst HR process in existence.
I originally applied via the Barclays job site for a position, had a chat with HR, told them my job and salary expectations. They replied "oh, we have several other jobs you would be a great fit for, can we put you forward for those". No problems, as long as job and salary expectations were met.
Ended up being put forward for 4 positions, including the one I originally applied for.
Telephone interview for 1st position went well, invited for face to face - however, HR rang and said they could not meet salary expectations. So why bother setting up the interview? Interview for 2nd position cancelled as they could also not meet salary expectations. So why bother setting up the interview?
Interview for 3rd position was by telephone, went well, asked to attend a second interview. Much confusion over whether this was face to face or telephone, on the actual day of the interview it was decided to do it via telephone. Interviewer did not speak good English and expected in-depth technical answers to technology I had not used for 2 years. Did not get any feedback from interviewer or HR.
Interview for 4th position was face to face, arranged really early in the morning (8am) which the interviewers had not requested. Interview went well, but did not get any feedback from interviewer or HR.
Summary: Barclays HR do not know what they are doing, and do not provide any feedback. Avoid this company.
We have several monolithic applications in our environment. But Docker only works for microservices, yes or no?
