The interview process was very hard and very difficult, I did not get the offer for the investment banking analyst. Wish anyone the best if they are doing it. Good Luck
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Jan 2024
Interview
I had a first-round phone call. It was mostly behaviorals like tell me about yourself. The interviewer was friendly and relaxed. There were also some basic valuation and financial statement questions. I was also asked about some resume experience and motivation for going into investment banking and why barclays.

Question 1
Describe difference between enterprise value and market cap
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Barclays (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Multiple back to back interviews, each with different more senior members of the team. Ssome were behaviorals with dif ppl, some were fully technical doing paper LBOs, and some brainteasers.
Two parts—puzzle solving and company fit. The puzzle-solving part was fine. The company fit part was odd and long. Basically, just a bunch of statements about company culture/teamwork, ranking them, then ranking them again when the question was asked in a different way.

Question 1
They asked a math problem about probability. Very simple. The questions became progressively harder.
