The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Barclays in Sep 2011
Interview
Very straight forward interview. Very nice people and enjoyed speaking about my background.
Almost every interview starts with "Run me through your CV" and this was no different. One questions that consistently came up was "Why Operations?". On top of that, it is important to know what your strongest achievement was. That was asked in two separate interviews.
Finally, the last standard question was where do you see yourself in 3 years?
Very straightforward process - a case study, brief personal questions, experience questions, behavioural questions. The office is fantastic. Very big, very comfortable, lots of ways to wind down and relax
