I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Dec 2009
Interview
Smooth & quick hiring process...most questions are tailored around on how you handle yourself in a team enviornment and working under pressure. Will ask few technical questions to guage how you articulate things even if you may not know the correct answer.
Pay is pretty well but be prepared to put in some long hours.

Question 1
Asked about experience in previous company, roles and responsibilities
It was 1 hour round with more focus on skills, experience; specially core java and managerial type questions. Interviewer was more interested in leetcode type problem and solution. It was like some exam, not a two way discussion.
