The process was fast intially they took first 2 rounds on weekend then last one after 4-5 days. When it came to result. They gave me two reason why I am not selected. 1. Stability(As per my resume, It is already mentioned that i have multiple switches for some reason but why they shortlisted if it is the issue. I didn't get.) 2. Don't know much unix commands(I have answered each question correctly related to the unix commands. but didn't know what they are expecting.)

Question 1
Q1. What are the OOPS concepts? Describe each one.
Q.6 what will be the size of below set? set.add(new Student()); set.add(new Student()); Q.6.a what will be the size for below one? set.add(new Integer(20)); set.add(new Integer(20));
Design and scenario based questions, not straight from theory or books. Keep your concepts clear in programming and skills for developer roles. I applied for senior role, more questions they were expecting were in distributed architecture, complex KARAT coding etc.

Question 1
System design questions, related to event processing for communication between different microservices.
The initial interview round is conducted by Karat, a third-party technical screening company. You will participate in a live, person-to-person online coding assessment to evaluate your core engineering competencies. All in all, it was good.
I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2026
Interview
Easy first round they use screen tool to ask you write some code. Second round is scheduled then got cancelled saying they will not proceed further? Waste of time in my opinion, also the interview person has nothing to do with the role you apply for.
