J'ai passé un entretien chez Barclays (New York, NY) en janv. 2012
Entretien
2 rounds of interviews with 3 people each round. Mostly behavioral questions with some technical questions on the equity markets thrown in. More about getting to know the person rather then to grill you with tough questions. 2/5 interviews didn't care much abut the questions they were asking and seemed unprepared. Most of the people who interviewed me have since left the firm.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Gave an example or 2 options (put and call) with different strike prices and asked if given a certain price, which option was more valuable
Started with an HR screening followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager, offer rolled out within 2 weeks of the interview. Positive feedback overall, interview questions maybe analytical in nature.
