The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Aug 2020
Interview
Two rounds and not sure what are the next steps since I cannot reach there.
First round is with a senior team member, covering questions about core Java, a bit data structure, concurrent programming and financial knowledge. Overall difficulty is medium and he is quite friendly.
Second round is with another team member, also covering core Java questions but more focused on recent Java features. It takes a while before I receive the final result.

Three rounds in total post that.
First eliminatory round consisted of DSA and sql round for screening.
