I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
30 min video interview, 12 questions. Had 30 seconds to think about each question before answering. Answers had to be 30 sec - 2 min long. This was mainly skills based, asking what I would do in various situations. e.g. How would you feel if you had to put the shared interests of your team above your own? Have you had to do this recently?
Went ok, although looking up the Barclays corporate values will help a lot as the questions seem to be looking for evidence of these competencies.
I have not heard back from them yet.

I completed my initial application by submitting my resume and answering some personal questions. Then, I received a link to complete some tests(behavioural and logical reasoning). After I completed these tests, I received a link to take a coding test. After these, I didn;t hear back from them.
