I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citi in Feb 2011
Interview
Started with a phone interview with an analyst, topics mainly ranged on career/industry awareness. Dipped a bit into technical questions on valuation. Later invited to a superday consisting of two interviews with higher ranking guys (VPs, MDs). One was all behavioral and the other all technical/stress questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of valuation would you pick to value a company in industry X? Explain your reasoning.
1 FR, 1 SD. FR all techs, moderate difficulty, SD has 3 behaviorals, 1 technical (harder than FR), 1 case study with comps, PE stuff. Very important to know people in the office.
