Applied online as an internal candidate. Recruiter call, then met with hiring manager, then ghosted despite multiple follow ups with the recruiter and hiring manager. My applications (there are multiple similar roles on the same team) are months old and still not follow up or response. Unfortunately, this seems to be par for the course at Citi, which speaks to how poor the culture is and explains, in part, the high turnover they have.
To reiterate, I am an internal candidate, currently employed in a perm (non-contract) role and this is how they treat me. I can't imagine how they treat external candidates.

Usual questions. Nothing difficult or interesting.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Citi in Mar 2021

3 batches- each batch was 3-4 people, mix of colleagues, businesses and functions, mostly MDs who have been around forever. Light touch questions, felt more like a conversations with acquaintances.

Question 1
How do you navigate a complex matrixed organisation?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Jun 2017
Interview
The interview process was just right around 3 weeks, which is expected for the role. I went through four interviews of 30 minutes each, which were very focused. The process was at the right pace and the conversations were forward looking and positive.
