I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Feb 2011
Interview
First round was very standard competency questions.
The final round consisted of a relatively long group case study, with a group presentation on the case study that followed. There was a lot of material given, and it was important to prioritise and know which information to include in the presentation etc. Presentation was in front of one banker, Q&A session not particularly intense.
This was followed by four one on one interviews. Questions were mostly competency, a few basic technical valuation questions and some simple brainteasers. Interviewers were very friendly.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
They took us to the Four Seasons to get to know the recruiter and the interviewers. The interview consisted of two half hour sessions. The interviewers were extremely nice and friendly, but certainly misleading. I was told I had high chances by an interviewer who thought I was "extremely interesting," but did not receive an offer.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Barclays in Jun 2010
Interview
A recruiter contacted me for the opportunity. I didn't talk to anyone in the company before the interview. They asked lots of product knowledge. If you don't know products you are not going to get the job. I decline the offer because I got a better offer somewhere else.
