July 1, 2011
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Have been contacted by recruiter and immediately given Web-based test consisted of 30 questions. Test should have been completed within 20 minutes. After getting 95% on test results, recruiter called back to me and asked if I want to go further and secure interview time with BarCamp at Canary Wharf office.

Within next 15 days I got interview at Canary Wharf office of BarCap. The person interviewed me was Team Lead of development sub-group. Interviewer was relaxed and made the atmosphere comfortable for me. Questions were mostly on past experience and general computer science topics like Agile Methodologies, C# syntax, C# lambda expressions, collections, nullable types, web services, and multi-threading
