I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Barclays
Interview
Had a combination of phone and video interviews. All went well and the fit was good on both sides. The process did extend beyond the normal period for a replacement hire due to internal politics on which office the position would be located. Overall a good experience though. HR and other support were great during the hiring process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A question completely unrelated to the line of work for which I was applying, i.e. a technical question. Turns out this person was testing me to see if I would be suitable for an open position in their universe.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Barclays in Feb 2013
Interview
Found the posting through my campus recruiting system. I applied, and was contacted for an interview. I had been in touch with a few analysts who were recent graduates from my school and they gave me some insight on what to expect going in. So nothing was much of a surprise, except that despite a what felt like a great interview led to nothing. No call, no email, nothing.

Question 1
There really weren't any difficult questions. Standard 'tell me about yourself', 'why barclays' and 'why Investment Banking'
