I interviewed at Citi (London, England)

Interview

Applied at beginning of April and received a Codality a week later after screening. Had the first round interview and HR called right after the interview for next round to be held next week. But I received no interview invitation later, so followed up with HR and they changed their mind to postpone their decision. No responds until I followed up again a few weeks later. Surprisingly, got passed and did the final round. Followed up again and application on hold (likely it's a rejection). HR was slow overall.

Long. I had to interview with everyone on the team at least once, approximately 8 interviews. Then the job posting was deleted and reopened, so I had to do all the interviews over again for policy reasons.
