My interviewer called me 40 minutes AFTER our planned time, and he didn’t even acknowledge his tardiness or apologize. Moreover, he took offense of the fact that I mentioned diversity was a reason why I wanted to work at Citi. That is a HUGE red flag. The first half of the interview went somewhat well - the interviewer asked basic questions “tell me about yourself,” “what type of experience do you have in investments,” “why San Francisco,” “what events in the next six months would you be cautious of for investment opportunities.” He then asked me “why citi” and somewhere in my answer, I mentioned diversity to which he asked if that was important to me. I responded “yes because the finance industry consists of at least 40% white men, so it’s great that Citi has more efforts in being diverse.” The percentage is actually 80%, but I couldn’t quite remember that during the interview. He then replied “huh well don’t you think that it’s because the overall population consists of 40% white men?” And before I even had the chance to reply, he said, “I was just curious. Anyway, who’s the CEO? ... “who’s the chairman of the Fed?” He responded in a snarky way to each response I had. He appeared to take offense of my diversity answer. That raises a huge concern within the company; perhaps Citi isn’t as diverse as they claim to be.

Very intense it was, three back-to-back interviews, they don't expect you to know everything, but they expect you to try and see that you are trying. There was one technical, one behavioral, and one
