I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays in Dec 2011
Interview
The phone interview was very polite - asked me one question on options, the five horse race problem and one simple algorithm question. He also asked some questions about my resume and background, and told me about work in the HFT division. Overall, the interview seemed to have gone well, and I was surprised I got a reject a week later.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY)

I interviewed with global head of rates strat. The interview went on-site.
The hiring manager was nice but apparently he did not have a clear idea on what candidate/profiles he was after.
The interview contained multiple questions about my resume but nothing in depth
