Capital Markets at Citi
No Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Oct 2011 – Reviewed Jul 10, 2012
Interview Details –
Interviewed on College campus after getting dinner the night before. Went down to NYC where went through a round robin of 6 consecutive 20 minute interviews. Felt like speed dating, made it hard to get to know anybody.
In the final round they brought in 20 peoples and probably hired 2 of them. Just really hard to prove yourself in this setting, especially since they all came from different groups so I ended up talking to a weird mix of equity people, fixed income people, and lev finance people. Have done other processes since and landed offers, all of which were much more reasonable.

IT Project Analyst at Citi
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY May 2012 – Reviewed May 5, 2012
Interview Details – I was first contacted by a recruiter about the job after having unsuccessfully applied to a number of other jobs at Citi. The recruiter set me up with an initial phone interview with the person who would become my immediate supervisor. That interview went really well, she was very clear about what they were expecting and I felt like we communicated great. A week later the recruiter calls me back and wants to set up a phone interview with another SVP in the department who will also need work from me. That interview went great as well, he communicated the job requirements to me and also had some great things to say about Citi. About a week after that I was contacted to come in for a face to face interview with the Managing Director of the department at the Citi headquarters in NYC. Again, the interview went amazingly well, we talked back and forth about my experience, education, and even views on corporate social responsibility. My perception of the people I talked to was that they really enjoyed working for Citi and felt that it was a place where I would be given substantial opportunity to grow professionally and academically throughout my career.
Interview Question – Where do you want your career with Citi to go? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – When I got called to negotiate an offer I was asked how much I had been making, and told the usual salary range for the position. Very standard.
