      Oct 29, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Prague
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Prague) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      I interviewed for a role in the Prague office. The interviewing process went very smooth and was completed in about two weeks max. Everyone involved was very professional and overall it was a very positive experience! Unfortunately, I had to decline the offer as the total compensation wouldn't be as much of an improvement for me as I was hoping for.
