I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (Vienna) in Aug 2014
Interview
I first applied online after I was encouraged to do so by a recruiter on my University campus. After I submitted my application, it took about 3 weeks until I was invited for the interview, which happened the next day. I was interview by three City Bank Employees for about one hour. It was a relaxed environment.

Question 1
I was interviewed by three employees of City Bank. One was from HR, one was an associate and the third a MD. I was asked some fit questions and then some technical questions. Time and again, one of the interviewers would suddenly ask me questions about unrelated current news, such as for example my view on the Scottish referendum for independence.
Much more fit questions than technical questions asked, prepare strong elevator pitch and research on the fit and culture. Hiring interviews proceed fairly quickly if hiring manager is keen but do engage with HR regularly for updates.
Had one call, asked high level technical questions for example on the yield curve, current news, and interest rates. The interviewer gave me no indication of whether I would move on to the next round or not or how I was doing during the interview.
three rounds not that hard. applied 10 days before contacted for an email questionaire, then 1st round panel interview with two people, two days later got an email calendar invite for a 2nd round interview in two business says.
