I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (Mississauga, ON) in Jun 2025
Interview
Applied online. seen LinkedIn job post.
Screening interview by HR for 20 mins.
Technical round scheduled few times because panel was in India and time slot were not matching.
Panel was asking very detailed and specific questions about Selenium like locators and was asking specific and exact code of Java.
panel started interview directly without any formal introduction and even not tried to make me comfortable in starting.
Interview just lasted for 3o minutes only.

Question 1
How do you process 10TB of data in Databricks ( as i mentioned in my resume )
I applied on the portal and after a week got a call from HR only to discuss the time slot for interview. No discussion around salary, notice period etc. the interview was scheduled for 30 mins after 10 days from the call. As expected from Citi, no feedback received even after a follow up. Seems the candidate was already identified. Cannot expect professionalism from Citi.
