Barclays Summer Analyst interview questions

Online application, numerical tests, phone interview with HR and then Assessment Centre. Assessment Centre consisted of speed interviews with many people from division, a group exercise, one-on-one interviews, and a case study. Took the whole day - from 8 to 6-7. Questions were a mix of competency and commercial awareness.

Same application process as most banks. Starts with 1. Online application with competency questions such as What differentiates barclays, what recent development has affected barclays, and why are you interested in the division you applied to? 2. Online testing, basic SHL Numerical and Verbal 3. Phone interview again basic phone interview mainly competency questions asking for competencies such as leadership, teamwork, and of course motivations on joining Barclays. No technical questions were asked during this stage. 4. Assessment Centre, this consisted of a group exercise and two additional 1 on 1 interviews with some of barclays senior bankers. Group exercise was simple debt or equity financing where you worked alongside 3 other candidates and you had to present afterwards. While the 1 on 1 interviews mainly asked for competency questions, motivations to join barclays, some basic technical questions, and a few brainteasers, however nothing at all detailed. E.g they will not ask you to do a DCF or explain an LBO analysis. Overall very structured and efficient interview process.
