I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citi in Sep 2015
Interview
Multiple rounds, phone and in-person.
Slightly disorganized, multiple HRs interacted with me. No one was willing to follow the commitment of the other. The actual interviewing panel was great and had some good questions, cases and insight.
Offer was given and modified twice - very slow process.
Decided to reject the offer

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.
