I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Apr 2010
Interview
There was two inteviews conducted on the same day back to back (uinplaned). Both interviewers were detailed in description of the work culture and expectations - moving from team function, where the team fits in the organtisation chart and also the expectatoin of the hire.
The third and forth interviews were conducted with the HR and an independent VP to understand the reason for leaving the current orgnaisation and interest/drive in joining theirs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Understanding the job now, what would your plans be with the team?
Started with an HR screening followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager, offer rolled out within 2 weeks of the interview. Positive feedback overall, interview questions maybe analytical in nature.
Amazing, 5 rounds in German language.
Very smooth, quick back to back rounds, and results are quick
HR round, then a Technical round, Then a asseesment round where excel data had to be analysed, then a team fit round, then a director fit round, overall a standard process for any Bank

Question 1
Ability to learn, data precesion and taking responsibility
Simple behaviour, not much technical
5 rounds, include one hr call
The process is not quick, around 1-2 weeks / round, but it is pleasant and the people there are being nice
