I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in May 2011
Interview
1 telephonic interview for 1 hour. Meet 5 people in 1 day for around 4 hours. The questions were mainly focusing on skills required for the job. They also asked questions about previous experience, technical background and business knowledge. Business knowledge has some weightage.

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.
