I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Mar 2009
Interview
A senior software developer called me and described the role to me. He then went through my CV and asked me a couple of questions. He seemed really friendly and interested in what I had to say. He told me BarCap would get back soon. BarCap never came back and the recruiter did not provide any feedback.

Three rounds in total post that.
First eliminatory round consisted of DSA and sql round for screening.
