Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Applied for Barclays Summer IBD London 2020. The cycle started with an online submission (NO CV) with a few questions and simple details. If you're successful there, you get on to the video/immersive interview and case study. This is sort of an all encompassing HireVue with a few personality and numerical questions, nothing particularly challenging. A short wait a couple of weeks and if you pass that, you'll get an opportunity to upload a CV. This is the first time they look at it. Again another couple of weeks, and then the assessment centre. You'll get an email about a week before inviting you and then providing a booklet of PDFs from which to prepare a presentation for one of the two interviews (the day itself is very short). Obliged not to disclose the content of the presentation but its simple enough and allows you to be creative to some extent. Not a single technical question at either interview, which is wild when compared to some of the European/US banks, particularly if you are actually going for positions on the continent or NY! Got the offer the very next day, 24 hours after the last interview.
