Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)
Started with a phone interview with HR, mostly standard personality question.
This followed up with another phone interview with the Hiring manager then 2 face to face interviews with other managers in the company. Most of the interviews were personality and culture related with some technical questions mixed in.
The whole process was quick and efficient. They made me an offer 1 week after the final interview which I gladly accepted. Super happy to work for Citi!

Interviewed Jun 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
Competency based skills interview. Had 6 rounds of interview starting with HR and moving to the Hiring Manager. The process while slow was very through and methodical. Focused on business situations you would have dealt with in the past and how you overcame challenges. Hr focused on cultural fit into Citi and organizational model. Professional attitude of interviewers - seemed to be genuinely interested in finding about my skills and relevant experience to the role

Interviewed Jun 2010 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
One of my friends referred my name to the hiring manager. However, the whole process has to go through HR. The initial interview was a phone screen, which was quite easy. Questions about my current job, my career path, why Citigroup, etc.
After that it took them about 10 days to get back to me for the second round of interviews on site. The technical interview was somewhat deep (C++/Java) and I met with 5 different people (roughly 30 to 40 min each). A week later, I went for drug testing. About 10 days after that, I got the offer.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 4 weeks)
I had an HR phone screen interview, then was invited to come in and do a 1:1 interview with three members of the leadership team. After which, I had two phone interviews with prospective peers and a hiring manager. Lastly, I met with the head of the US business. These were all good interviews with good feedback at all stages direct from the HR person who was coordinating the interview efforts. I had a total of 5 interviews. As I am finding, HR processes for large companies are quite fractured. In this case, it took 4 weeks after those interviews to hear anything back from the company. The seniormost HR person basically took the stance of "It's not you, it's us" to explain why they decided to do nothing with the open requisition for the job I was posting for. They never once stated my credentials or fit were in question, just that their internal structure was broken and execs were not in the same place at the same time to make a decision. My advise to those interviewing at senior levels with large banks like citi is, be prepared for the process to take longer than expected. I was consistent in my communication to managers within the business, but still felt a strong boundary between HR and the hiring manager about next steps. Neither was talking much to each other. I am wiser for the experience, but a waste of my time nonetheless.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
Internal Posting - HR phone screening. One on one with hiring manager, then two one-on-ones with peers. Had two phone interviews due to location with senior managers who I would be working with.
Outcome - expense reduction position placed on hold.
Would have gotten the job except for the hiring freeze in this department.

Interviewed May 2007 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Fairly informal since I applied through a HR recruiter that contacted me. First did an HR screening then met with an SVP and 2 members of the team. Some minorly technical questions on financial and market analysis but answers were logical in nature. I got the offer so assume I did fine.
