I applied through university. I interviewed at Barclays
Interview
Amazing experience. Simple process. Basic aptitude at ground level. Situational Judgement test. Occupational Personality Quiz. Technical Aptitude test in the final round is based on c++, java and sql. Pretty basic. Technical interview was normal general concepts. Technical aptitude was harder; interview was easy as it awas a one on one thing and the interviewer was not intimidating.
The entire experience was good because they always behave very nicely and are always helpful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Strength based interview--- like a psychoanalysis test. U can never know how u did
The interview experience was professional and engaging, with a structured yet conversational flow. It felt slightly intense at times, but also thought-provoking and insightful. The questions challenged me to think clearly and communicate my ideas confidently. Overall, it was a valuable and motivating experience that pushed me outside my comfort zone while helping me reflect on my strengths and areas for growth.
The first round in the process is a 15 minute telephone interview with an associate. After that usually an in-office assessment center would take place with many other interview rounds ranging from analyst to partner.
5 rounds, technical interview (brainteaser, discussion about academic projects and previous internship, coding in python, algorithmics, complexity, questions in math, stats and proba, optimization) but also fit interviews (ambition, why markets, why tradingetc.)
