I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Barclays (Singapore) in Oct 2009
Interview
The online application form took some time to fill up as I did not have any prior experience regarding applying to such organizations. After that I was invited to take a standard psychometric test.
Shortlisted candidates were invited to an assessment center where we had to take part in a group exercise. The first part involved a task called time prioritization where we were given a list of 20 choices and had to select the top five. After that, we had to justify our selection to the assessors. The second exercise involved a case study, where we had to prepare a presentation in under an hour. A few hours later we were notified of our selection for a final interview. The interview consisted mostly of some behavioral questions, questions about the 2007-2009 financial crisis and some standard HR fare, ie, why do you want to work in Barclays Capital, and so on. The technical round was mildly challenging and I was asked some basic questions in C++, C# and Java.
Asked Technicals for 30 mins straight then a few behaviorals scattered in their as well. Got reffered by an associate then got the first round it was honestly a pleasant experience
It was a tough interview process which required two components the first of which was a 45 minute interview followed up by a 75 minute case study interview. There was a 15 minute gap in between
