Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I applied on-line. To be honest, I have developed multiple relationships at Barclays over the past year, the only reason I did not choose "employee referral" is because I'm not entirely sure if one of my contacts passed my resume along and secured an interview for me or not; I suspect one of them did as I am from a non-target with an unorthodox background. I am prior enlisted military. Which is what qualified me for the 'Bootcamp' as this is a diversity program.

I received an email letting me know that I would have a phone screen for the program. The phone screen lasted less than 20 minutes and my interviewer was from Diversity Recruitment. The phone interview was entirely fit question based. I was only asked 4 questions: "Why did you apply for the Bootcamp?", "Why are you interested in Investment Banking?", "What do you hope to accomplish through the Bootcamp?", "Why Barclays?" That was it. Very easy questions with simple responses. I expected these questions and was well prepared for them.

Again, the phone interview had zero technical questions. At the end of the 3 day 'Bootcamp' all participants will interview for Summer Analyst positions. I fully expect technical questions and fit questions in this interview. I will post details regarding this interview after I have it.
