Very simple interviews; questions including probability theory/ stochastic calculus (math), financial knowledge (covered by CFA level 1), and behavior questions. People were very nice and relaxing. Received an offer, but did not go.
Other Quantitative Researcher Interview Reviews for Barclays
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Barclays (Mumbai)
Interview
It was off campus interview with QPS team. The interview was a mixed experience with too much emphasis on definition/formulas compared to intuition. I got asked about macro factors interconnections etc and a on-screen coding problem about computing return on market cap weighted index from its constituents.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Philips curve definition, formula of some fundamental factors of firms, regression assumptions and ways to handle them, coding question
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Dec 2024
Interview
3 rounds : test code , math test and data analysis test.
Basic coding skill is needed, you have to know what is a p-value and and how to implemente a data-set.
