I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Citi in Feb 2010
Interview
I interviewed with four different guys. The fist one asked me resume questions and some easy tech. The second one was horrible, I was asked by many market questions, such as what do you see the US economy in short-term, long term, how do you think of the equity market in the future, etc. The third guy asked me many math and probability questions, very easy, including the classic one (the prob that three random dots in a circle can form a acute triangle). The fourth one went through my programming skills and asked small questions based on different programming languages such as C++, SQL, etc
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the probability of forming a acute triangle from three random dots in a circle
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Citi in Oct 2009
Interview
they move fast - my time from initial contact to offer was less than two weeks.
interviewed with 8 different people. some questions technical, others not.
focusing a lot on fit, making sure the candidate knows what he or she is getting into.
overall, not an unpleasant interview experience.
some wiggle room for negotiation.
