I go to a non-target, offers were given out for select few at my school in early May. I know some diversity students, also from my school, are having first rounds this week.
Redacted
go to a target. process hasn't really started at our school. was somehow informed there would be an OCR in the fall.
How is it that they haven't started core schools, but have non-core interviews this week
Maybe b/c non-target kids network, and as I mentioned previously, it's through diversity
Go to a Barclays target, OCR is in the fall for us
Barclays SA IBD (NYC) (Originally Posted: 01/27/2010)
Heard anything back from its recruiting process for IBD (Global Banking Corp. Finance) for summer in NYC? I heard that they haven't started sending out first round invites yet and are still reviewing applications. Please advise and we can help each other out.
Just got an email about a first round next week...so i think they are starting it
I've had a phone interview.
What did they ask in the phone interview? I have heard that the phone interview is described as "behavioral in nature with an emphasize on problem solving questions". Does that mean the interview will be technical (valuation, balance sheet questions etc.) or was it something else?
Yeah I just got the email last night. Anyone know what they mean by "behavioral in nature with an [emphasis] on problem solving questions?"
I received the same email. All it means is for example "describe a time you show leadership", "describe a challenge" etc. and those were the two questions they asked me.
got a rejection email last night. don't understand why they won't even grant a phone interview even though all my stats and internship experiences are more than enough for the job... HR bureaucracy...
at least they had the courtesy to send notify
Got the same email. Anyone have anything scheduled yet? Are all of us non-targets?
I am a non-target and I have my phone interview tomorrow
thats weird....im in limbo...my app still says under consideration
wonder when HR will be kind enough to drop me a rejection email
I am a not target as well.....sorry to hear about rejections, I'm kinda getting nervous now.
don't get nervous. just think that everything's fine and continue with your day. if nothing happens, go on to your next task. we are all young and full of potential and have lots of other worthy things to do than worrying about an email.
one of my alums recently told me to look ahead of things. don't be obsessed with the present too much. there's tons of opportunities in the future waiting for us. As for him, when he was applying for a job on wall street, he got rejected at all BB firms (not even phone interviews). In the end he had to settle with a small PWM position in philly. He's now the MD for emerging markets fixed income trading at the best BB. Keep it up, cool cats!
Either the first or second superday for non-core schools was yesterday. I think there will be four.. so there is still time. Update if anyone hears back from yesterdays superday.
I was under the impression that the first super day interview was on Feb. 10th for non-targets.
Offers went out from the first non-core superday on Wednesday (2/3). Anyone get the nod?
I attend a target and we have first rounds tomorrow.
i have a phone interview tomorrow. non-target but top 20 u.
I'm from a non-target, and I got an email last week Monday to set up a first round phone interview, emailed them back with my available times, and still haven't heard back regarding a confimed interview time?!?
Has this happened to anybody else?
Yea, have not heard back since Monday.
I have super day interviews this Wednesday.
Got a call today, my first-round phone interview is on Friday. She said it was problem-solving and technical in nature. What have they asked you guys?
anyone get offer from non core superdays yet?
how was barcaps superday like? how many interviews?
two 30 minute interviews
When's the next non-core superday?
Barclays SA Application Question (Originally Posted: 12/21/2013)
Hi guys,
Back in November, I applied to Barclays in one of the regional offices (Not NYC). Since then, I have got in touch with an alumni who is a VP there and have spoken to several of the analysts in NYC. They told me to apply online to NYC, but I have already submitted an application and the system says you can only apply once. How should I approach this? Should I email HR and tell them to cancel my first application?
Thanks for advice.
Let them know you've applied- if the system gives you some sort of reference number or something like that, casually mention it in a brief sentence after you said you've applied. ("Not sure if this helps, but the system gave me ref # 230503 after I applied.")
Then sit back and relax. A conversation with someone from the hiring team only merits you treatment that's as fair as everyone else.
It's a little early to be mentioning this, but Barclays is known for being an analytically driven firm. It runs on the british system and hiring managers have less discretion than they do at, say, Lazard or Goldman Sachs. It's also known for having HR be somewhat disorganized and slow. It may take several weeks for them to get back to you after an interview. You need to know this in advance, so that when you come back in March with some post like "Two weeks since I interviewed with Barclays... ding?", we can calm you down and you can trust us a little better.
Thanks for the advice. I just read in the FAQs that they have a program that recognizes multiple applications. If I apply again from another account (since my main one is used to apply to a non-NYC office) - I won't be rejected from application system will I?

Barclays Public Finance SA Offers? (Originally Posted: 02/19/2013)
Anyone hear back from them yet? Anyone know of anyone who has heard back? superday was on Friday, is it unusual to not have heard back yet? Probably means I didn't get it?
Never mind, just got rejected. That was my last BB opportunity for this summer as well. Oh well, sayonara world!
Haha. Life sucks bru.
How long did it take to get back?
Barclays Public Finance SA recruiting (Originally Posted: 10/24/2017)
Hi everyone, has anyone heard back from Barclays Public Finance SA? What is the timeline for them, I did the first round interviews a while back and haven't heard anything regarding next steps. Did they have superdays already?
Hey CroixFish, sorry about the delay, but are any of these useful:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
Internship Question - Internship at Barclays (Originally Posted: 01/12/2011)
I have asked this, but still need clarification. Someone please advise, because I don't know what to do. I have an internship at Barclays plc in london in information risk management.
IRM takes a business-focussed view of information assets held by the Bank, whether they are held in electronic or other forms. It aims to integrate people, processes and technology through use of risk management principles to safeguard the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information in accordance with the Bank‚s operating model and risk appetite. This is achieved either directly or through partnerships with related disciplines, e.g. Business Unit information risk and security teams, Legal & Compliance, Risk etc.
That is the description and after researching this looks like back office technology? Am I right this looks like IT, not even finance. I am not interested in this at all, more into HF and PE and investing. Is this is even as good as I thought someone please chime in because I am starting to have second guesses. Is it worth the barclays name or should I look into something else?
From reading your description above this is certainly not a finance role. It also sounds like it's one level removed from traditional risk, in that it is "information" risk dealing with only information assets. Sounds like MO role but likely IT related. I don't see it as a stepping stone to the buyside per your interests
Re if barclays name is worth accepting a BO or MO role, do a search as this has been disussed a lot esp in regards to gs,ms,pe megafund role in bo or mo. IMO any bo role with a brand name company is never worth it. You will never ever interact with fo as they have zero incentive to network with you. But u can read peoples opinions and make up ur own mind
Definitely sounds like BO.
However, if you're a sophomore, then I would take this internship. Actually, even if you're a junior I would consider taking this too if you have no other options. A BO SA position won't pigeon-hole you as bad as BO FT, so it's better than nothing.
I am a freshman. would it be worth it work at a smaller company and more interesting stuff or take barclays? I am really conflicted what internship should I ask for
[
Sounds to me like Accounting. Not really IT. Management accounting, not financial.
1: "information assets" seems to describe things that are feeding decision makers, ie accounting info.
2: "risk management principles" strikes me right away as something to do with support functions (ie assurance and checking operations are running ok, and without undue risk regarding Operations Risk, Write-Down risk, Competitive Risk aka Robert Simons' management accounting textbook stuff)
3: "operating model and risk appetite" looks particularly misleading. Operating model likely has very little to do with 'models' in finance, and 'risk appetite' seems to have nothing to do with Markowitz and related risk modeling methods. It seems to just be there to attract freshmen that don't know any better and appetite is always in a finance undergrad topics, not in accounting to confuse people imho.
4: "Business Unit information risk" ... information/management accounting "and security teams," ...definitely assurance therefore accounting, "Legal & Compliance, Risk" ... Compliance ==very probably accounting.
If you can choose something more finance related at little to no cost, I'd do it. If you weigh position+name with your other offers and find this isn't what you want, choose the other one. One internship is better than none, most of the time.
This internship will not help u to eventually work in finance. Yes u are better off doing a finance related job at a smaller shop. The conten of ur job function is more important than the barcap brand name
Barclays Operations Summer Analyst (Originally Posted: 01/31/2011)
I have been doing some background research into what the interview and job entail for Barclays Ops, but was wondering if anyone could summarize their experiance or the experiance of others you may know who went through either the interview or both interview and ops placement.
I interned primarily in ops for a top tier BB. It was incredibly boring. The interview was pretty basic and just asked about my resume, why I wanted to go into finance, and what my future aspirations were. I would suggest staying away from ops if you have any interest in going into a front office position (S&T, IBD, ER, etc).
