I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Barclays (City of London, England) in Feb 2008
Interview
Very easy going conversations about previous work experience. But looks like they wanted to get to a consensus before recruiting. Long Long waiting between interviews and the process too a full 3 mths with 9 interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
An analytical question about the treatment of a particular data sourcing situation.
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
