I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
3 technichal questions by telephone since I was in Spain. Last session was a face to face meeting with the director. Totally informal, he just wanted to know me and have a conversation with me. My aspirations, challenges, etc
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Statistics: regression function, Chi-squared, normal distribution, martingala, time series, etc...
Started with an HR screening followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager, offer rolled out within 2 weeks of the interview. Positive feedback overall, interview questions maybe analytical in nature.
Amazing, 5 rounds in German language.
Very smooth, quick back to back rounds, and results are quick
HR round, then a Technical round, Then a asseesment round where excel data had to be analysed, then a team fit round, then a director fit round, overall a standard process for any Bank

Question 1
Ability to learn, data precesion and taking responsibility
Simple behaviour, not much technical
5 rounds, include one hr call
The process is not quick, around 1-2 weeks / round, but it is pleasant and the people there are being nice
