I applied online. I interviewed at Citi in May 2026
Interview
Applied online. Was asked to schedule an assesment in a 2 day period. Prepare for 1 day and gave the karat interview on the next. Karat interview was good. I cleared all testcases for 3 coding questions and answered 2/4 mcq questions in 50 mins. I was positive I did well but next day got a rejection email. Dont understand what more they expect?!! I guess a PERFECT candidate.

I got a phone interview on Wednesday. The phone interview is easy, mainly about basic knowledge about Java, SQL. Then on Friday, I got the phone call from HR, and arranged an on-site interview on next Monday. The interview took three hours,from 11am to 2 pm. Each time, a HR or manager interviewed about an hour.
