I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Apr 2016
Interview
I was brought in via an agency along with a number of other contractors. Initial face-to-face technical interview was easy, cruised along. A face-to-face behavioral interview with the program manager followed.

Interview
the interview is very difficult: 3 stages of interview: video call interview asking questions, technical test and in office face-to-face interview. The questions are related to deep understanding of C++, data structures and algorithm. For example, why STL don't use virtual functions
