I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Feb 2010
Interview
At first they started off with some technical questions such as some java garbage collection and data structure questions. Most questions were not so difficult if you know what you're doing. After that, behavioral questions took about 20 minutes and two interviewers were very friendly and I felt comfortable throughout the whole interview.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Jan 2012
Interview
Very Casual. My first round interview consisted simply of a conversation about myself. There were no technical questions or anything like that. Some fit stuff such as "Why do you want to work here" or "what position do you see yourself holding here in the future." Take all of this with a grain of salt because I go to an Ivy where the interview process is notoriously more conversational.

Interview
Only one round of interviews at their NY office. Two interviewers, 30 minutes each followed by a lunch. Mostly behavioral but a few very basic technical about financial statements, bonds, and the time value of money. Very nice people. Talk them through your thought process when answering technical questions. Know your resume very well.
