1.Technical Interview
There were two panelists for this round. Everything was conducted online.
In this round first I was asked to explain any project that I had done so far. So I talked about one of the projects that I had done during my internship recently. They asked few questions about the project.
Next, they asked me about my preferred coding language. I had answered Java and Python. So they asked me about some OOP concepts, java related questions, some functions in python, etc.
Next, they also asked me some managerial-type questions during this round. Why do you want to join Citi? If your manager carries out some unethical business practices what would you do? How easy/difficult would it be to reallocate to a different city? Etc. They wanted to check my confidence, patience, etc, they kept asking few questions repeatedly. It’s important to keep calm and reply to them even if you have to repeat the same thing twice or thrice don’t get irritated just be confident and firm on what you are saying.
