My timeline is surprisingly quick lol, for Tech Analyst @ Knutsford:

AC - 8th March
OC - 22nd March
ID (confirm British citizen) - 27th
ID (upload) - 27th
Contract - 30th

That’s so good! I’ve confirmed I’m a British citizen and uploaded my passport but they haven’t arranged a video call to verify documents. Did they arrange a call with you?

I think they only do a video call with International citizens... it's a bit confusing. After I uploaded my passport I just got sent my contract, idk if we have to confirm but I do know they want proof of address before we start but not sure when lol

Yeah as it says in the email to show proof of address on a video call. I assume they start the screening process after you accept the contract?

Hoping to receive a contract soon to confirm, however, I did talk to one of the people from the same programme. She mentioned that it’ll be 1-2 days in the office and the rest will be WFH. I will confirm as soon as I read my contract!


I was told in my offer call that its 2 days office and 3 days WFH. But of course, it could be different for each job role/location combination.

Yes, I have an offer for Developer Analyst. I'm still waiting for my contract though. Had my AC on the 10th of March and OC on the 15th.

(Original post by v1th)Not right away, takes some time, and also wouldn't advise you to spend it during the first 12 months. However, I don't want to provide further details as it would be a breach of the contract:smile:

I think there’s some form of pre-employment screening but I haven’t heard anything yet


Have you got the sign-on bonus yet?
I read that someone else already received theirs

The contract states the time frame. Did you even read it before signing it?

Did anyone enquire about potential changing location? I'm assuming they said no but still interested if anyone did ask

What happens when you start ? Does it say we need to validate our degree grades?

Hi does anyone know how much possibility I could expect from getting an offer after being put in the reserve list? I tend to assume no one would decline the offer from Barclays so the news is an implicit rejection for me?

When did you receive the news and what day was your AC?

Not sure about reserve list possibility tbh - could be a chance cause there will be people applying for Barclays with offers from other big firms

Answered a phone call (with caller number so I knew it was not offer!) several minutes ago and was told that.
I did my AC on 22 Mar.

So last year, I was put on a reserve list and I was never called back, however, I knew a guy who was also on the reserve list that was called back and offered a place on the program. So really, there’s a chance you can be called back.
