I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Praga) in Jan 2011
Interview
First round of interview started with a closer look at my CV.
Second was a phone call with a group leader I should be working for. He asked me about my technical backgrounds in Java, databases, OCMs, design patterns and frameworks.
Third one was face to face interview with a team leader and his boss describing job, evaluating my personality and wanted to show excitement about the job.
Fourth was with a team leader and his boss again, this time asking me a bit deeper technical questions about frameworks, GWT, Ajax and so on.
Fifth one was with a HR discussing salary.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Dec 2010
Interview
Barcap's representatives are very nice in general. If you have questions don't hesitate to reach out to them. I contacted one of our alumini and he actually called back and gave me a mock interview before I went to the actual one. On the interview, I was asked to walk the interviewer through my resume first. He jumped in when he saw some interesting parts. He did a lot of talking along way too, so time passed really fast. Also asked why investment banking. Also a stock pitch and two simple brain teasers. I was pretty lucky to have an easy interviewer.
