I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Dec 2009
Interview
Challenging mathematical questions and puzzles. Programming questions were fairly easy for someone with a good understanding of algorithms and some experience in C++. Met some senior management and was taken out for a beer as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
n numbered places in a bus, n people with a ticket for one place each come in at random. k of them are anarchists who sit down in a random free seat. All other people sit down in the seat assigned on the ticket, unless it's already taken, in which case they sit down at random. What is the probability that x people are in their assigned seat? (I think original question was with n=10, k=1, and x=10).
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
