Multiple rounds across directs and peers of hiring manager. Did not use canned interview questions. The first round was typically the most difficult where the second rounds are more ensuring a good mutual for.
Many rounds even for a junior position. Combination of fit and analysis interviews. This was over 10 years ago - early 2000s so please take with a grain of salt.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Apr 2023
Interview
4 rounds. Took 2 months. First with the HM and a colleague, then two with cross-functional leaders, then with a manager. Everything went well until the last round where technical questions were asked that I was not prepared for. In the end, got reply from HR that someone else edged me out.
