Entrevista
I've had 2 telephone interviews with Barlcays for different jobs. First one was very slick. Chap was obvioulsy used to doing them. He was professional and friendly. I was completely at my ease. He only threw me once when he asked me what was the thing about my job I enjoyed the most. I hate those generic question and went into woffle mode. The other interview was very vague with long silences. Neither were technical at all.
The face to face was more technical. Only in that they slid a piece of A4 across the table with various queries on and wanted to know the result of one, fault with the other then a couple of questions about the difference between this and that. The rest of the interview was strictly competency based. At the end I asked them all about how they performance managed and didn't like what I heard. I think this came across an why I didn't get any further.

They liked my first round and scheduled a second round immediately. However, they did not take the second round and then declined to take it at all. Worst process ever.

Entrevista
Interviews consisted of telephone interview with technical tests (starting easy and progressing through to detailed and difficult areas), followed by in-person interviews with potential colleagues and senior staff to director level. Areas covered were the usual suspects - previous experience, talking about difficult situations and how one handled them, technical issues and how they were overcome.
