I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
It is the first round OCR and the guy interviewed me is very tough and used to push me to the limits and if you made a mistake he would attack that relentlessly.
BS formula, implied vol, VaR, market sense are tested in the process.
Very easy braintease and not worth mentioning.
The risk management guy is not very passionate probably due to his profession as a risk manager. If you are with a passionate character, it is hard to get through. The company job description said that you should stay calm even under pressure. I am a person not calm even in daily life. Haha

Interview
I had a phone interview for a Capital Markets internship with Barclays Capital. The interview was very strange. It was all behavioral, but questions that I have never been asked before and caught me a little off guard (i.e. tell me about a time when you took a creative risk and what was the outcome?) Not sure how that relates to banking, but needless to say I was not prepared and did not get to the next round.
