Such dead people in this company. Even interview feels like a courtroom. I've cracked interviews being relaxed and confident in other organisations but here it's literally like they keep firing questions and have no facial expressions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What will you do if the work pressure builds up and you handle things well but the manager still expects more from you even though others are doing less than what you do?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (Budapest) in Feb 2024
Interview
3 rounds. 1 phone 2 technical.
I don’t know why, but I had 2 technical interviews and in the second the questions were insanely hard even though it was 30 mins, while the second round was 1 hour. They asked about balance sheet, pnl, financial products. Everything is bank related, so the balance sheet etc. The questions are complex, not general.

Question 1
If the bank trades FX how would that show up on the balance sheet and how would it affect the pnl?
