I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Citi (Pune) in Sep 2022
Interview
Interview took place on a Saturday. In total they had 3 rounds, 1 technical, 2 techno-managerial. All happened on a same day in around 3 hours. Technical questions were related to Java basics, collection, spring, problem solving and all. The other techno-managerial was related to projects and managerial in general of dealing with scenarios and testing frameworks, agile in general. Last round was basically setting the foundation of what they required and how it matches my expectation.

Design and scenario based questions, not straight from theory or books. Keep your concepts clear in programming and skills for developer roles. I applied for senior role, more questions they were expecting were in distributed architecture, complex KARAT coding etc.

Question 1
System design questions, related to event processing for communication between different microservices.
The initial interview round is conducted by Karat, a third-party technical screening company. You will participate in a live, person-to-person online coding assessment to evaluate your core engineering competencies. All in all, it was good.
I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
Easy first round they use screen tool to ask you write some code. Second round is scheduled then got cancelled saying they will not proceed further? Waste of time in my opinion, also the interview person has nothing to do with the role you apply for.
