Anonymous Employee in New York, NY
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CIT (New York, NY) in Jan 2023
The interview process is very fast and to the point. The interviewers were very nice and asked both technical questions and behavioral questions. Five rounds of interviews include HR, Hiring Manager, Other Team Members, and Senior Leadership. The whole process took about a month. Received an offer two days after the final round.
- Mostly behavioral questions with some technical questions baked into the conversations.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Phoenix, AZ
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CIT (Phoenix, AZ) in Aug 2021
Video call with a few developers of the team. Questions asked went from your background, object oriented principle questions and then very specific textbook definitions of certain things in certain programming languages. The interviewer would look at their phone as I answered some questions and it was very disrepectful. I'm not sure why they wanted to interview me if I wasn't a candidate they wanted to listen to when I answered their questions.
- What can you tell me about object oriented programming? What is a reference type vs a value type?

I met with 5 people (at different times) one after the other. The questions were typical. I met with the hiring manager and a couple of other managers in the department.
- How do you handle multiple priorities?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Charlotte, NC
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at CIT (Charlotte, NC) in Jun 2021
Found and applied to the listing on LinkedIn for a Credit Analyst II role. Had a phone screen with a recruiter and was not selected by the hiring manager to move forward due to lack of experience in the field. A month later, the same recruiter reached out to me for the same role under a different hiring manager who cared less about prior technical experience. Completed the first round interview, which I found out was also the final interview. The interview was quite unprofessional, cursing multiple times, being very lax and a little too candid at times, and saying that he keeps talking to unqualified candidates because the pool is lacking. I asked for more details about the company culture and the response was "uh it's good", which is obviously not reassuring. There were two individuals on the call, each of which got disconnected multiple times. The interview itself was casual and not many formal questions were asked. I received another offer elsewhere after this interview and promptly withdrew from consideration for this role.
- Walk me through your resume and anything that you would like to highlight.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Pasadena, CA
I applied online. I interviewed at CIT (Pasadena, CA) in Dec 2020
There were 3 rounds for the interview process, the last one being an all day interview. One of the people I interviewed with treated me with no respect and attacked me for my race and gender. I contacted HR about this and the negative experience I had with this person and I was told "I'm sorry you felt this way". Due to this level disrespect, I pulled myself out of the running in the final stages.
- Are you aware that your culture will not be accepted here? You seem to always get your way, so you don't know what a real struggle is, do you?

Video and phone. Started with an HR screening, then a 2 interview round with hiring manager and one other. Process took a couple of weeks in all. Both second round interviews were 1 hour in length.
- Largely fit, but there were some discussions regarding ratios and how you would analyze a brand new company with now financial history.
