Applied through campus career services center and got an interview. Met with one director within the compliance division separately. She interviewed me on campus. Did not ask any technical questions, all behavioral and fit questions. They are very interested in seeing how people have overcome their hardships and how they work within a team setting.

I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY) in Aug 2020
Interview
I did the Inside Track diversity program and was fast-forwarded to the final round of interviews. One mini "case" interview dealing with a compliance breach and one behavioral. We got a few of the documents beforehand so we could plan our recommendations. The interviewers were very nice and it was all virtual.
