I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in May 2007
Interview
Fairly informal since I applied through a HR recruiter that contacted me. First did an HR screening then met with an SVP and 2 members of the team. Some minorly technical questions on financial and market analysis but answers were logical in nature. I got the offer so assume I did fine.
3-4 interviews.
Study the topics in depth and the company in depth, practice a lot.
First with Human Resources, then some peers and then my boss.
Others can have another interview with the boss’s boss.

Recruiter called me for position. 1st interview was scheduled shortly after. Interview was pretty standard no trick questions. Interview personal were very professional andd asked for the interview to be more of a conversation and not just one sided.
There was an informal series of interviews with several peer leads. The questions were primarily focused on technical design and prior leadership experiences. Also recruiter screen. Very easy process from start to finish and I accepted the offer.
