I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Jan 2010
Interview
Internal Posting - HR phone screening. One on one with hiring manager, then two one-on-ones with peers. Had two phone interviews due to location with senior managers who I would be working with.
Outcome - expense reduction position placed on hold.
Would have gotten the job except for the hiring freeze in this department.
3-4 interviews.
Study the topics in depth and the company in depth, practice a lot.
First with Human Resources, then some peers and then my boss.
Others can have another interview with the boss’s boss.

Interview
Worst interview process of my career. Received a sketchy, spam-like Karat assessment link without any initial HR screening; I literally had to message HR via LinkedIn just to verify its legitimacy. The actual interview was outsourced to Karat and designed purely to stress candidates, giving only 1 minute for intros and a rushed minute for Python MCQs. Post-interview, there was zero feedback. I had to beg HR for updates, as they lacked the basic decency to send even an automated rejection email. Completely unprofessional and unstructured.

Question 1
Give an intro about you in 1 minute and just cut me off within 30 secs
Recruiter called me for position. 1st interview was scheduled shortly after. Interview was pretty standard no trick questions. Interview personal were very professional andd asked for the interview to be more of a conversation and not just one sided.
