I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Nov 2013
Interview
phone interview competency based, scripted and very standard, try to be engaging though. assessment centre was competencies but the traders asking them wanted to get onto more technical side/brainteasers. I am a maths student so one of them asked me about the heat equation and proving compactness of the interval [a,b].

Question 1
tell me a time you had to make a decision based on ethical issues
Quite typical; start with OA (behavioural + technical), then resume screen, followed by Superday interviews if shortlisted (multiple rounds, spoke to everyone on the team, 1-1). Then HR will let you know if you passed within a week? Or so.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Nov 2022
Interview
The online assessment was fun but with limited time. Questions are not hard but some of them really take a lot of time. It also includes a few calculation questions.
