I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Sept 2015
Interview
Typical how-would-you-do-x, and basic technical questions. They completely failed to mention the utter lack of resources, and that we'd have no desks, and would be working at any of 5 different buildings spread over a 50 mile radius on any given day.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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 (London, England) 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.

Question 1
Figure out a bug in the code.
Then write a small method.
