I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Citi in Sept 2010
Interview
Lots of phone calls with recruiter and HR. Detailed interview with a recruiter who was a fill-in for the head of recruiting. She claimed I was the best candidate and perfect for the job. Next step was to meet with the CTO. That never happened because she didn't follow through. Repeated requests to her by phone or email were never returned.
Multiple rounds across directs and peers of hiring manager. Did not use canned interview questions. The first round was typically the most difficult where the second rounds are more ensuring a good mutual for.
Many rounds even for a junior position. Combination of fit and analysis interviews. This was over 10 years ago - early 2000s so please take with a grain of salt.
Talent Acquisition team were good. The TA team member explained the process and guided it me through it. Lots of interviews though. It was a lengthy process but thorough. I met most of my key stakeholders through the process.
