I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2019
Interview
Standard, initially you submit your application, do online tests then get invited to 2x30 minute telephone interviews. The 2 interviews may be shorter than 30 minutes, depending on how / what you answer (my first interview was 30 minutes, the second was 15 minutes).
Interview 1) largely competency-based questions. About 4 competency-based questions, with 2-3 "probes" (e.g. explain further). Then she asked "what are the current issues in the finance industry?" and probed into that.
Interview 2) essentially the same as interview 1. There were maybe 3 competency-based questions, with 1-2 probing questions. Then he asked the same question about issues in the finance industry. He took what I said and ran with it and went into more in-depth questions.
General atmosphere about the interviews: both interviewers were French, the first interviewer was very nice and calming, the second interviewer was less interested and was very "corporate" and interrupted me a few times to make an input (although if I had continued, his questions / input would have been answered).
The first interview was fine, the second interview for me did not go well because the interviewer really nit-picked at every detail I had mentioned and tried to probe hard. By no means was it a bad experience, I was just nervous and he was helpful and even though I had answered 1-2 obvious technical questions wrong, he spent 1-2 minutes explaining it and asking further questions which I could answer, having understood his explanations.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Describe a time where you had experienced someone else being unethical. Further probing into the question depending on how you answered e.g. "when do you think it would an appropriate time to tell a manager?".
What does a depreciation in the pound sterling mean for the valuation of FTSE 100 companies? (this was a probe question in relation to issues I had suggested in the finance industry e.g. Brexit).
I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY)
Interview
I had 3 rounds of interview - First round was with the recruiter who asked me questions about my past experience. Second round was with the hiring manager and he asked me questions on how would I tackle the given tasks and what metrics would I use for different situations. Third was a panel round with questions around metrics.
