I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2008
Interview
Saw the job posted on a public site, applied and was called almost immediately by an HR person for a standard 30-minute phone screen. I ignored this person's subtle condescension and did my best to answer questions quickly. I apparently passed, because an invitation to meet with the hiring manager arrived the next day, which I accepted. All fine so far (minus the "too-cool-for-school" attitude of the HR person, this was all a very standard, perfectly acceptable process).
At the agreed-upon time/date, I showed up on time for my one-hour interview with the hiring manager. The meeting went on for the hour. The next day, I wrote the usual polite "thank you e-mail." About 4 weeks later, I got a voice-mail from their HR dept saying they had "forgotten about me," but that they wanted to make sure I knew they had moved forward with someone else. And that I should feel comfortable applying for other jobs in that department.
Summary: The process was handled well, except for the follow-through, which was nearly non-existent. What follow-through did materialize was bungled spectacularly.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2024
Interview
Firstly you apply by filling out your standard information, e.g education; then there was a maths test, situational judgement tests, then there was a CV screening followed by an Assessment Centre which included an interview and a case study.

Ensure you are well prepared before taking the interview. As long as there is enough practice, you should be alright. Do not overthink the questions, simply answer with honesty and in a periodic flow.
I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2015
Interview
There is video interview which should be taken within 10 days. The candidate was given 10 seconds to read the questions and 2 minutes to answer the questions (before reading the questions the candidate was able to listen to the questions once). There were 12 questions totally. The whole process was about 30 minutes.
