Interview
I applied online on the Barclays website. Had to do two online business insight assessments, the second was followed by a one-way video interview. The video interview puts you in business situations and asks you to respond to several situations/issues (some video and some text responses).
The assessment centre follows, which consisted on two one to one interviews lasting 40 minutes each approx. The first is a role play exercise in which you are given data and information prior to the assessment day, and asked to take part in a role play business meeting. The second is a more standard interview, asking you about the role, your motives and more about yourself.
I received an offer over the phone a couple of days later.
2 interviews, described as assessment centre but not - there were five other people but the interviews were one to one. Only behavioural questions, no technical questions. Offer / rejection calls were made within three days of the interview. Very efficient.
