Question 1
A scenario was given - i was assigned to a group where we were given Legos, scotch tape, and some paper. Our task was to design a Lego structure that enables a ping pong ball to stay in as long as possible. Teamwork is very important, and the interviewers will also identify those who takes initiative.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Feb 2010
Interview
At first they started off with some technical questions such as some java garbage collection and data structure questions. Most questions were not so difficult if you know what you're doing. After that, behavioral questions took about 20 minutes and two interviewers were very friendly and I felt comfortable throughout the whole interview.

Interview
Very Casual. My first round interview consisted simply of a conversation about myself. There were no technical questions or anything like that. Some fit stuff such as "Why do you want to work here" or "what position do you see yourself holding here in the future." Take all of this with a grain of salt because I go to an Ivy where the interview process is notoriously more conversational.
