I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Citi in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied to the company through a recruiter. After handing in my application i had to wait for a week before the first phone interview took place. Here we scheduled a second phone interview. My initial impressions were that the company has very strict regulations in terms of the job interview process and formality plays a crucial role. After then, this second phone interview was all about my general skills and how i can manage to answer some of her unusual questions. It went all right and it lasted for around 20mins. Then, more than a week later i was called again where the recruiter invited me for a second interview. If i had been still available, it would have taken place a few days later. However I got a job offer in the meantime so i cancelled the whole interview process.
