The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Feb 2010
Interview
Initially I was told that their will be 3 rounds. Telephonic, Face to Face and HR. Then 5 rounds were conducted. The HR said they will revert in 2 days but its almost two weeks they have not yet reverted in either yes or a no.
Still waiting
Amazing, 5 rounds in German language.
Very smooth, quick back to back rounds, and results are quick
HR round, then a Technical round, Then a asseesment round where excel data had to be analysed, then a team fit round, then a director fit round, overall a standard process for any Bank
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Ability to learn, data precesion and taking responsibility
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.
