Process

The tests that Barclays gives the technology applicants are ridiculously lengthy. They are conducted through an automated online system, which prompts you to code and record yourself answering short soft skills based questions. They do not even put human touch to your application process and don't bother with you until you have completed those, which in no way showcase your technical strengths.

Questions

Timed case studies relying on simple search or summary of high level technical information.

You have to record yourself answer questions related to those tech projects case studies.
