I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Miami, FL) in Mar 2023
Interview
It was very chill. if you go on YouTube and watch a few interviews there and prepare you should be fine. It was supposed to be a panel interview but one of the managers couldn't make it. She was phoned in and she said nothing the whole time. I don't even think she was paying attention.
Interviewed directly with Branch Manager, did not go through recruiter first. Interview panel consisted of multiple branch managers even though I only applied to 1 branch. Background check was very thorough; they verified all of my previous employers and requested for proofs. Recruiter is the one to provide salary number.

Question 1
What motivates you? What makes you a good candidate? Describe a time you handled a difficult customer
I applied online through Citi’s careers site. Within two days, I was contacted to schedule an in-person interview. The interview took place shortly after and was pretty straightforward — the branch manager asked about my previous customer service experience, availability, and why I wanted to work at Citi.
I heard back with an offer just three days after the interview. The rest of the process involved background checks and completing onboarding tasks.
The interview process was very quick and the HR team reach out to you really quick. It takes like a week to do all the background check since you get the offer.
