I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Dec 2012
Interview
The Hiring and Interview process was well organised and systematic.I had 4 rounds of Telephonic interview after which i had 3 rounds of face to face interview for the role of Business Analyst in Application Support Profile.
Came across rapid fire round of both technical as well as functional questions.All the rounds went as per my expectation except the 2nd round which i had 70-80% chance.

Simple behaviour, not much technical
5 rounds, include one hr call
The process is not quick, around 1-2 weeks / round, but it is pleasant and the people there are being nice
Initial phone screen (easy and conversational, culture based) followed by superday. Superday had mix of technical and cultural questions. Not super difficult. Nice people and not trying to trick you, big emphasis on culture.
