Barclays interview questions

Applied for Graduate Wealth Management Scheme for Dubai office. Things went very quickly in the beginning - put in application and was immediately asked to complete numerical and verbal reasoning tests (had 5 days to complete them). Found out immediately that I had passed and was invited to a phone interview less than a week later (mid-November). Was told by HR interviewer that if I passed, I would be invited to a final round assessment center in Dubai, most likely in early January. I did pass, and then the waiting began...finally, mid-January, got an email from the recruiter asking me where I was based so I could be sent to an assessment center. I told her that I understood I would be going to Dubai, as that is where I had applied. After a week, she replied and said they wanted me to have another interview before they decided to send me to Dubai - but that interview was at 5:30 AM (I asked if there were any way to maybe push it back to say 7 or 8 AM and was told that it was impossible - I'm on the east coast, so even 8AM is still only 5PM in Dubai...). I got an email 30 minutes before the interview (at 5 AM) saying it was going to be to assess my knowledge of the company and business and when the Dubai manager got on the phone, he just asked me to tell him about my resume. Clearly NO COMMUNICATION. Waited another week (now into February) and got an email from a totally new recruiter saying that Barclays had decided not to hire anyone into graduate scheme for Dubai for this year and that because of changes to the program, would probably not be hiring people into Dubai ever again - would only be hiring into London and some other European offices. So unorganised and unprofessional.

Application then numerical and verbal tests online. If you are succesful, the HR would contact you to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview was pretty easy. The interviewer asked questions like introduce yourself, why did u choose ops, etc. Nothing particularly hard. Assessment centre is the last round. The first stage was face to face interview with two interviewers. They questioned a wide range of questions like tell them about yourself, what you know about the company, and they would target questions based on your resume to find out more about you. So you should know your resume inside out. And general questions about the current economy. Second stage is interview with the line managers. They would give u 15 mins to prioritise a list of 20 activities. Rank top 5. They are trying to test your prioritising skills and reasonings for these choices. Last stage is a group activity. To build a 4 by 4 cube with same colors on each side. They are trying to see if you're a team player.
