Anonymous Interview Candidate in London, England
I interviewed at Citi (London, England)
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.
