I had to give the WACC for an Airport buyout, with little information - just the expected EBITDA and EBITDA leverage, and overall value of the project. The EBITDA leverage was 4x and EBITDA was $200m, overall project value was $1bn. No calculator was allowed.

The first interview was entirely behavioral. Background, why IB, why Barclays, then questions about a time I led a team, a time where a team encountered issues and how we handled them, how my background prepared me for banking, and to describe myself in a single word, which I backed up with work examples/situations. The 2nd interview was much more conversational. Questions included if I were the FED what am I thinking about right now and what would I do, choosing between a 2-year 2,000 per month fixed rate lease and 2-year lease with a floating rate tied to US GDP, am I only interviewing for banking and is there anywhere else I am talking to.
