I applied through university. I interviewed at Barclays
Interview
First round technical questions with 2 behavioral, think conceptual DCF and valuation questions, one accounting, merger model, be prepped interview tend to be a little harder than other banks especially in the North America locations think NY-SF
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through how a purchase of $100 in assets at the start of the year affect three financial statements at the end of the year when it’s recorded.
The interview process was very hard and very difficult, I did not get the offer for the investment banking analyst. Wish anyone the best if they are doing it. Good Luck
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Barclays (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Multiple back to back interviews, each with different more senior members of the team. Ssome were behaviorals with dif ppl, some were fully technical doing paper LBOs, and some brainteasers.
Two parts—puzzle solving and company fit. The puzzle-solving part was fine. The company fit part was odd and long. Basically, just a bunch of statements about company culture/teamwork, ranking them, then ranking them again when the question was asked in a different way.

Question 1
They asked a math problem about probability. Very simple. The questions became progressively harder.
