Only one round of interviews at their NY office. Two interviewers, 30 minutes each followed by a lunch. Mostly behavioral but a few very basic technical about financial statements, bonds, and the time value of money. Very nice people. Talk them through your thought process when answering technical questions. Know your resume very well.

The phone interviewer from HR department was very nice. All behavioral questions and lasted about 20 minutes. The accessment centre lasted for a half day, which consists of 1 to 1 interviews, case study and a group discussion of prioritzing things. The culture there is friendly. The feedback from the AC is helpful.

Round 1
Verbal and numeracy test. Not very hard if you practice SHL before that

Round 2
Phone Interview by HR. Questions such as why investment banking? Why Barclays Capital? Why do you think you are suited for this role ? What is your weakest quality and why? What kind of risks do you take?

Round 3
Super day at assessment centre: Case Study + an individual presentation. Case Study looked at a client's potential acquisition of a mining company. There is a tendency for assessors to ask about reputation risk, so if you can, prepare sth in advanced abt that. 2 individual interviews. More of a get to know you session and abit of technical competency questions. But nothing really hard. Finished up with a group interview. More of a teamwork thing but be prepared to speak up eloquently. You don't need to give right answers but try to explain your point in detail if possible.
