I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Jan 2012
Interview
HR Interview and then 3 on-site interview rounds. Mostly based on fit questions for entry level positions. Some brain-teasers were asked by one of the interviewers. HR phone screen is pretty generic.
I would recommend just being comfortable taking about the position and how your past experiences can help you fit.
Had one call, asked high level technical questions for example on the yield curve, current news, and interest rates. The interviewer gave me no indication of whether I would move on to the next round or not or how I was doing during the interview.
three rounds not that hard. applied 10 days before contacted for an email questionaire, then 1st round panel interview with two people, two days later got an email calendar invite for a 2nd round interview in two business says.
