Multiple rounds across directs and peers of hiring manager. Did not use canned interview questions. The first round was typically the most difficult where the second rounds are more ensuring a good mutual for.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in May 2012
Interview
Difficult but thorough. Enjoyed meeting everyone. They clearly liked what they did but found the culture a bit difficult. Multiple opportunities throughout the bank but difficult to move for,I'm one department to another. Seen as a personal issue if you transfer to a different area.
Many rounds even for a junior position. Combination of fit and analysis interviews. This was over 10 years ago - early 2000s so please take with a grain of salt.
Talent Acquisition team were good. The TA team member explained the process and guided it me through it. Lots of interviews though. It was a lengthy process but thorough. I met most of my key stakeholders through the process.
