Interviewed Jan 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
First there was a logic test online that was for only 10 minutes. When I got successful, I received an email after 5 weeks informing me that there was an interview 1:1 to London's headquarters. At that day, there were 2 back to back interviews of half an hour each 1 on 1. The first interviewer from HR department was very friendly. We were chatting in general and then there were some questions based on achievements and personality. Second Interviewer was a director from operations asking about the role I was applied for and she wanted to see if I truly understand the responsibilities and whether I fit the role or not. After finishing with the interviews a Logic test followed again to test if we were the ones that did it on the first time.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
Had to go through 2 written tests, 1 telephonic and 5 F2F interviews. Was hectic but a nice experience anyways, not because I was offered, but the people I met were genuinely nice guys. 1st written test was a simple C++ concepts checker and the 2nd was a detailed design and coding exercise. Had 3 set of interviews with guys at SVP levels and 1 interview with a guy at VP level.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
I was approached by a head-hunter and he appeared to be in a big rush to get an interview with my current manager. The first interview was in the offices of the headhunter because close to my previous offices and it was at 7am, it lasted about 90 minutes and it was mostly a set of technical questions about finance (basic market knowledge and technical questions on IR derivative pricing). Second interview round was a few days later, this time consisting in a series of back to back interviews (3) to check my programming knowledge. I was called one week later for another set of interviews (it lasted from 8am to 2pm) and I met most of the people working for the team. Depending on the person the questions varied from personality to technical question.
Overall, a stressful process but a very fair process, and luckily enough without those annoying puzzles that are becoming popular in finance.

Negotiation Details
The negotiation was very open, and I was asked my current salary and possible bonuses. I was told the bonus that they were going to pay me also in view of the loss of the bonus in the current position. At the end of the year my manager was more than fair, giving me what was verbally agreed.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
sent my cv to citigroup HR with covering letter, got a telephone interview about a month after, with 3 people interviewing me, asking me funny questions, i prepared myself properly for the interview.
i believe the main person who interviewed me had a small knowledge of the banking industry, because of the 'silly' questions she was asking me(although i was very polite with her).
not saying that bcoz i didnt get the job, but bcoz of the type of questions she was asking me.
some HR officers have no knowledge of the industry they are working in. they just are plain and bland HR officers with no specialisation.
i have 6 years relevant experience in banking and just graduated with Merit with a Master in Banking, at least i know a little bit of what am talking about.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
The interview day gave me a rather positive impression towards Citi.
In the morning, there are maths and logic tests followed by 3 one-to-one interviews with managers. The tests are about 20 minutes each and relatively straight forward. My interviewers were quite friendly as well and 2/3 of them felt more like conversations; conversations about my past experience, what I would do in certain scenarios and a few questions testing my technical expertise. The interviews did not have much of the usual pointless HR questions you might get asked, such as "why do you want to work with us?" or "have you used technology?", which seemed like the only thing that Goldman Sachs was interested in.
During lunch, you have a chance to speak to a few recent recruits and also given a project proposal to read. The tasks during the afternoon are based on this. First, you need to submit an essay about this project and also prepare some presentation material such as slides. Once this has been completed, you present the project to a manager and later you are grouped with a few other applicants to discuss the feasibility of the project and also try to improve the design.
This concludes the interview day.
