I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Belfast, Irlanda del Norte) in Feb 2017
Interview
A good experience overall. Was impressed with a specific interest in respecting the diversity within the company. Consisted of a technical and a competency interview which was conducted by a panel of interviewers.

Question 1
How do you process 10TB of data in Databricks ( as i mentioned in my resume )
I applied on the portal and after a week got a call from HR only to discuss the time slot for interview. No discussion around salary, notice period etc. the interview was scheduled for 30 mins after 10 days from the call. As expected from Citi, no feedback received even after a follow up. Seems the candidate was already identified. Cannot expect professionalism from Citi.
