Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY)
Interview
Was asked to submit a resume via linkedin recruiter, landed an interview with two people for 30 minutes each. Interviews were not difficult. They basically asked my background questions regarding my resume and why I wanted to work at Barclays/what I knew about the place. I had a feeling it was an entry level role and when they called me back for a 2nd interview I politely declined. Place seemed pretty decent but for a Compliance analyst you are working 10 hours a day there, which is okay if you are fresh out of school.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None, they didn't throw curveballs. They just want to get to know you. It is Compliance, not Investment Banking.
I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview process was not a lengthy one since Barclays had come for On Campus placements. There was a behavioral test and coding test as the first round. It was followed by a resume screening round. The next round after resume screening was personal interview. Personal interview had technical as well as HR rounds.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Mar 2023
Interview
After you apply, there is a numerical SHL Test, then a video interview, where you record your answers and then an assessment centre. 1.5 weeks after my video interview, I was invited to an assessment centre.
Assessment centre includes:
1. Competency based questions with 2 years senior compliance analyst. Basic questions, why Barclays? Name a time where you worked in a team? Quite easy going.
2. Case study interview, you get 20 minutes to prepare and then another 2 years senior compliance analyst will quiz you on issues you find in the case study. It's quite easy and it's based on issues in a branch so not technical.
The interviews all went fine but I was left in the dark after an extensive interview process for 3.5 months. Barclays outsource their recruitment process so the phone number that eventually rang 3.5 months later to put me on a reserve list was from the Phillipines. They should really value candidates more, it's a lot of valuable time and effort for the entire application process.
