I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (Mississauga, ON) in Jan 2022
Interview
Interview process was simple 2 rounds of interview 1 was technical on database optimization and other concept and opps concept 2 nd round was basic level questions but seems like they already have hired someone
Tried following up with HR they didn’t even bother to reply seems like pretty rude from HR atleast a response is appreciated if you waste a candidate in interviewing.
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.

Interview
Worst interview process of my career. Received a sketchy, spam-like Karat assessment link without any initial HR screening; I literally had to message HR via LinkedIn just to verify its legitimacy. The actual interview was outsourced to Karat and designed purely to stress candidates, giving only 1 minute for intros and a rushed minute for Python MCQs. Post-interview, there was zero feedback. I had to beg HR for updates, as they lacked the basic decency to send even an automated rejection email. Completely unprofessional and unstructured.

Question 1
Give an intro about you in 1 minute and just cut me off within 30 secs
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.
