conrad_candor, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Sometimes bots are smarter than humans anyways:
More suggestions...
You're welcome.

I don't think they have opened yet
They opened last year on July 1, although I know a lot of firms are opening earlier than years past, especially BB's. Don't think I saw an app for barclays though.
Opened today
Can you post the link?
I don't think they have ... at least not according to Barclays website. All they have is an option to sign up for updates:
https://search.jobs.barclays/internships-investment-banking
Search “2023”
Opened on the 4th
Is the Expert Program the right one? When I tried applying and put graduation date of 2024 it instantly gave me the rejection message.
Same here, whats the deal with this?
its the expert one, just applied and instantly got the online assessment.
I think Barclays has taken down their analyst positions for some reason. All the 2023 analyst listings that come up on google bring you to a page that says "the page is not available". If you go to their job search, they only have 2023 analyst for Atlanta. These were on here yesterday, so I am unsure why they are down today.
Anyone took the assessment can tell a little about it?
Can you post the link to the application?
https://search.jobs.barclays/job/new-york/banking-analyst-expert-summer…
this is for NY
Took the online assessments and got a video interview shortly after I submitted the assessments. The cognitive ability assessment is hard af. Definitely one of the hardest if not the hardest one I've seen so far.
assessment was def tough. feel like i got everything right, but ran out of time on the last one.
absolutely. i've taken like 20 of those and that first question took me for a loop.
Yeah that assessment was brutal. Funny enough, they only made me take it after I had the offer haha. Got lucky
hirevuew is composed by behavioral questions and all fit with the STAR method, so quite chilling.
5 calendar days
I'm assuming it's sent automatically, as I got mine like 2 minutes after the assessment.
Yeah think so too
Has anyone had a superday or interviewed with the Menlo Park office?
I don't even see an app for Menlo Park on the Barclays website, how did u even apply?
I landed this back in April. I’ll be there next summer
Got a rejection email today. Resume must've been dinged idk.
just got rejected as well do you think it’s an error?
Doubtful. Never gotten dinged this early but Barclays obviously moves differently than other banks.
Did diversity recruiting for Barclays earlier this year their system is very weird, me and 3 other ppl at my school got rejection emails/did not finish video interview then got invitations to first round a couple weeks later, you might not actually be completely dinged
turned out it was an error - hr followed up.
Also just received rejection and applied to two offices. Could also be a score cutoff on the assessment because I got lit up.
I definitely did worse than you on assessment lol it killed me. But why would they send an invite for virtual interview before rejecting? Makes no sense.
Also did you receive 2 rejections or 1?
2 rejections.
Am under the impression this got sent to everyone who applied to more then 1 opening? If anyone got one the rejections today and applied only 1 time feel free to correct.
Applied to only NY and got the same email. Not sure why, since they already sent me an invitation for the virtual interview
Someone else here got 2 rejections, they only applied to 2.
I applied to 4, got 3 rejections. Wtf is going on
lmao also got the two rejection emails. Was planning to do the assessments later today since its the 4th day since I applied, should I not bother now or still do them anyways (if it was a mistake on their part)?
would probs still complete it if you’re still able to access it
Nevermind…. Just saw that I got 4 rejection emails for all 4 positions.
So strange how they sent me an invite to complete the virtual interview, but then rejected me before I even did it lol
Anyone get a rejection email for the spring program but they did the interviews for the spring program and super day?
Omfg so relieved… who else got that recall email
Just received a recall too
They recalled. WTF is going on at Barclays?
Also got the recall email
Someone in HR needs to be fired
Does someone understand what is going on with these rejections???
I only applied to NY location and got the rejection email but haven't received the recall/error email yet? Does that mean I'm legitimately rejected? I think it might be cuz I'm an international student.
Edit: nvm, just received the recall email as well
Check spam maybe? I got them there
I didn't get a recall email either, but I'm not international
Just got another official email that it was a mistake.
I recived a video interview consisting 5 questions, anyone can expand a little how was it? was it all behavioral?
Yes, all behaviorals
Analyst in Houston told me that the process is nearing the back end? What's up with that, apps opened not even 2 weeks ago for non-div and haven't seen any people saying they've gotten r1's yet.
That’s impossible I agree.. applications opened like a week ago. Probably not in touch with HR so he wouldnt know… strange though
houston does really early recruiting- you have to network early in the semester and then they invite you for first rounds/superdays in march
For non-div? Damn, I didn't realize that. I figured I was right on track because applications didn't open until April.
Anyone else get the video interviews
Anyone else's hirevue page messed up technically?
Yep
Have heard that the "Expert Summer Intern" application that is live for IB at Barclays is specifically for target schools. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
anyone apply but not receive the assessments?
applied but no assessments, are they already sent out?
Actually I received it right after the submission.
Forgot to complete the hirevue before the deadline and they withdrew my application - what is the best way to go about this?
Big Taylor Swift guy here, love the name.
I would call their NYC corporate office, they wil direct you to their recruiting number which will give you their email.
say u got covid lol
.
Has anybody gotten superday invite or offer for Houston? Please specify if you are diversity or not
.
Anything for nondiversity yet?
I talked to an analyst the other day and she said she didn't think interviews would pick up for a couple weeks (non target)
Regarding the HR issues, I heard they are having a whole new group working on it this year which is why a lot of things are seem a bit inexperienced, but by the end of the day they get things fixed and done
Has anyone heard back from the LA office yet?
Friend had a first round on 4/27 second round on 4/28 and has not heard back. You have any updates?
Nothing tbh, must have not wanted me
Whats the time frame for NYC Hirevue responses?
Have SD gone out?

is the barclays hr team deceased?
anyone have a superday coming up or any communication after the hirevue?
For NY IB, any offers or interviews being extended at any schools?
They just released if you got a superday today at least for core schools I am assuming (after already doing two round of interviews last week)
when did you hear back from them after hirevue?
Every school has their own recruiting timeline. I'm at target and they just started phone screening
what school?
Mich
Any Houston update?
Nothing for me at least
Barclays HR really on typewriters
Sums it up. An1 at Barc and I really like it overall but the one major downside is the lack of responsiveness and clarity from HR. Last year we had no clue what our start date was for the longest time. Seems like a pretty simple and important thing to figure out and relay...
Any mf update?!?
Nope lmfao, I’m just bouncing around talking to hella alumni bc they keep giving me more contacts (talked w 8 ppl so far) and saying interviews should be starting soon
what school? no ones responding to my emails from target
Jeez
Completed Video interview for SnT today
hirevue or zoom interview?
Hirevue bro.
Just got interview request. Target. Interviews on next Monday
What school?
Yale
this recruiting cycle has been dragging my balls across shards of glass. can i catch one fucking break already
Same bro same, I feel the pain
Does anyone know what the interview questions are like? I have heard historically that it is a lot of market based questions, but I was not sure if it has changed.
I interviewed last year.
We ask technicals and market based questions. Associates / VP's and under will ask more technicals, MD's will be more market based (although I know a few who will definitely ask technicals).
Bottom line, you'll need to know your shit, but not to the level of an EB or something. Study the guides and you'll be fine.
Technicals are always asked most when the conversation isn't strong. As always, behaviorals are most important.
mine were pretty much just behavioral. One "current events" question, and one basic accounting question framed strangely
Lol "framed strangely"?? Would love to know what that means hahah
anyone hear back from yesterday's superday
I had my superday yesterday also. I have not heard back yet. Lmk if you do.
what school?
bet, let me know if you do too! good luck
what school?
Anything yet? So nervous right now.
Networked pretty heavily with my school recruiting team but still have not received an interview. How should I proceed? Is it worth it to email my contacts? How would I even phrase the email, don’t have any competing offers right now?
What school?
Wharton. Worried bc I’ve heard of another person getting an offer.
anyone from cornell hear about the process?
Did hirevue. Hbu?
SnT
Just got an email. Cornell’s done
They sent out rejection emails already? Wow I thought BBs just tend to ghost
from who, i spoke to an analyst yesterday and she put me into contact with more
How long are folks typically waiting after sd before they get a call from HR?
12 hours to 5 days is the norm across BB banks from my experience
Barclays NY. Heard back day after SD this week.
Same - received a phone call earlier today!
Do you know the turnaround between getting a verbal and written offer?
Also sorry, last thing.
Are the offers sent via email or is it a physical letter?
Sent via email
Do people know if Barclays pays overtime for its summer analysts?
Also wondering this - did not see it mentioned in offer letter tho
does anyone know if cornell started their process? harvard analyst told me some ivies do it first asap and then some do it august/september.
Any news from Barclays Boston College?
I completed my video interview last week, but have not heard back. I heard from a friend that BC may be done, but do not quote me on that.
Just finished my second interview of my super day (UVA). What has the turn around been for offers for other people?
Mine was a day and someone else said so also here
was this accelerated for UVA or diversity? wasn't sure if they started regular recruiting. What did the process look like?
I'm not sure if it was accelerated, but I am not diversity. I received an email two weeks ago from two junior members on the UVA team to set up coffee chats that were informal with one or two basic behavioral questions. After that I was passed onto a VP who then passed me onto two 30 minute interviews each with an MD for my super day. Not a lot of technicals and all of my interviewers were UVA alum.
deleted
Any word on the process for Wharton/Penn? Has it finished? I’ve got a superday for a different bank tomorrow but I really enjoyed my convos with Barclays, updated some contacts and they said to let them know if I got an offer.
not 100% sure, I got my offer around the first week of June, but I heard that last year they were going till around september at Penn
Hmm, thanks for the info. Looks like you also got a Nomura offer, congrats on that! Which one did you end up taking? I just had a Nomura superday recently so hoping to hear back soon.
Had SD for target school a week ago and thought it went really well but I have not heard anything back yet?
Same with me. Have not heard back. Non-target
Will they ghost after a superday or send you a rejection? Would rather be rejected than left in the dark
do you guys think there will be more Superday's? Heard from HR Chicago is filled for 2023. Don't know where there would be more spots!
Fuck. Hoping there’s more spots in NYC since it’s a bigger office
Did you follow up and ask?
most people who have gotten offers didn't do applications at first they had their superdays before the application process through networking.
Not true at my target.
I think there’s still another round of super days, my school just started doing interviews into superdays this week
Any news on S&T NYC? Are they done for S&T at Boston College as well?
Is recruiting done at most target schools? Another wave?
