I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Feb 2011
Interview
The interview was pretty interesting. A lot of probability and programming questions. It consisted of several 1:1 interviews and team cases. It was a final round interview in London for EMEA region candidates. If you want to pass this round you need to review all your university's program before the interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY)

I interviewed with global head of rates strat. The interview went on-site.
The hiring manager was nice but apparently he did not have a clear idea on what candidate/profiles he was after.
The interview contained multiple questions about my resume but nothing in depth
