I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Barclays in Sep 2021
Interview
The hiring process was a three step process. I applied through my college and got shortlisted for the interview. The interview was held on the very next morning the shortlist arrived.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions from the CV were asked, Programming language (Python), Derivatives (Options Greek, Risks associated, etc.), Instance when you held a leadership role and what were the challenges and time restrictions and how did you manage?
The interview process was very hard and very difficult, I did not get the offer for the investment banking analyst. Wish anyone the best if they are doing it. Good Luck
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Barclays (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Multiple back to back interviews, each with different more senior members of the team. Ssome were behaviorals with dif ppl, some were fully technical doing paper LBOs, and some brainteasers.
Two parts—puzzle solving and company fit. The puzzle-solving part was fine. The company fit part was odd and long. Basically, just a bunch of statements about company culture/teamwork, ranking them, then ranking them again when the question was asked in a different way.

Question 1
They asked a math problem about probability. Very simple. The questions became progressively harder.
