I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Kuala Lumpur) in Dec 2020
Interview
Rigorous and analytical. There were 3 part to this interview and each were different but require a proper assessment and practice. The first interview was a general introduction, second was an interview with several other individual working together to assess your team work ability and lastly an in depth interview that requires the explanation of your soft skills ability. Overall, it was a good stepping stone and introduction to the skill set required by an investment bank.
I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Yakarta) in Jan 2021
Interview
I went through the HR phone interview session, after submitting my resume on the website.
HR will call you to ask several questions about yourself and your knowledge of the firm, but mostly they are hygiene in nature.
HR would first ask you to go through your resume. Aside from some behavioral questions, the main purpose of call is to know whether you are truly interested in becoming a banker, as almost all new hires for Citi come from the summer internship program.
The interview lasted for around 30-45 minutes.
After the initial HR interview, there will be an FGD session along with other candidates. During the pandemic, this is conducted online.
Overall it was a pleasant call and the HR really did well on selling the company. They highlighted the internal mobility and international exposure of Citi.
