I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Barclays in May 2018
Interview
First and technical interview with two people from the company. Only one of them was mostly talking and they explained what the company do, projects, philosophy, etc.
When they're asking questions about me, background and projects, the one of them really showed that I have not impressed him. He answered my questions very fast and sharp, saying that they have more interviews to do and did not ask anything else. The interview was supposed to be around 30min but after 20 they just hanged up on me, which I consider that very rude.
I did not receive a feedback from the company or the recruiter.

Initial call from the recruiter
Interview consisted of structured scoring based on the role
I personally think the interviewers didn’t have an idea of what they wanted and the whole process felt like i was being interrogated than interviewed
The technical interviewer was literally asking questions straight from interview because of the wide scope, no depth in AI but was asking unnecessary questions.
The role was eventually closed the recruiter was nice and briefed me about the feedback from the interviewers which I found absurd but it’s an employer’s market so they can do whatever

Question 1
