I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in June 2015
Interview
First round interview and second round interviews up through the recruitment agency. The process is standard. Greet and meet on date arranged by recruiter. one hour first round interview, same amount of length for the second one. It's aligned to European bank standards across the market
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
questions like
what are the greeks?
what projects you have worked on?
what was the last book you read?
What is your next move after this role? i.e. where do you see yourself in 5 years etc
Standard process: hr/tech/management.
Tech part primarily was focused on the quant part. Also sql skills were assessed. During the assessment (all stages) main Barclays values were assessed. Overall - nice process, only downside - very time consuming.

Overkill competency based as well as a technical and a business interview. For a role I was doing as a secondment for over two years. Ridiculous. They are behind the time as well
