I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Citi (Irving, TX) in Dec 2018
Interview
Phone screen to setup with team interview on teleconference. Most technical questions related to what are written on resume. So, be straight on what you know to avoid being square. I don't see the interview is difficult if you know what required in the job description.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about version # on products that you have recently used for your. Most questions are basic and high level, not expect to answer in detail but if you know subject, you will be OK. Technically, I did not have problem to answer. Only 1 out of 3 required technologies described in the job post that I don't know.
Interviewer didn't show his face as usual. I've interviewed with Citi bank several times over the years and they never show their face even if its a panel of people.
They asked technical language definition questions. Only has vague answers about what the job is because he doesn't know. His only job is to grill you on whether you know what one java syntax does compared to another. Apparently they think that's the only thing that's important to working for Citi. Do you know how the inner workings of this keyword in java, spring, angular, or sql? Yes? Great. We have 30 more similar questions for you. If you pass this round, we will do this again for 3 more separate interviews where each round another faceless interviewer will ask you another list. After the interviews you learn nothing about the company and give you no reason to want to work there.
1st round HR discussion- good
Second round Technical discussion - nice experience interacting with team
Third round manager - About discussions and understand the culture
Fourth round - HR manager round , To discuss about salary and benefits and
tech interview, asked some basic questions about python and two lc medium questions. Both aint too bad, but I didnt prepare for the interview so I communicated badly, as a result I didnt pass.
