I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview was pretty much one sided monologue with the interviewer doing the talking.It looked like he wanted to spend some time on a friday afternoon with no clear agenda in mind. He was very nice and warm as a person, but the interview looked more like a coffee chat (monologue).He didn't ask me anything, only asked me what questions I had.

Question 1
No question was difficult because he didnt ask anything.He only talked and talked when I asked him something and this went on for 1 hr.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays
Interview
Two interview, one is behavior and the second is technical.
Technical part is not too much technique, asking questions about sorting, maths, networking
Referrals and Consultants.
HR round is unbelievably easy as this place is just like a BPO Call center. They are not equipped to interview people from Credit/ Investment Banking.
Ops people just ask you basic questions like what is an OD, how will you judge ratios. Nothing much as they just look to hire people from relevant background. Once recruited, you are completely on your own.

Question 1
What salary are you looking at?
Salary negotiation with BSS is never as per Industry standards. They have policy that limits the increment in previous salary to 25-30% even if it creates a discrepancy running into 5-6 lakhs even at an analyst level.
