Entrevista
First of all there are 2 online tests, maths and verbal reasoning. Phone interview is composed completely ofl competency based questions, name a time when you... helped someone, were out of your comfort zone, worked in a team, took on a leadership role. The interview started as always with "tell me about yourself". Knowledge of the firms recent history is recommended, as are the usual questions of why barcap, why investment banking, why trading, why an internship. The interviewer was pleasant although not too helpful with prompts etc. Questions are not too hard although thinking up an example of what they you are being asked for is quite difficult especially as some of the questions were very specific.

Entrevista
Interview with the hiring manager and his supervisor in some dingy room that was not suitable for meetings. Neither of the interviewers greeted me when I entered the room. One of them did not even once looked at me during the interview. They came late and clearly had no interest in being there. It was obvious that the role had already been given to an internal candidate but they had to please HR.
