Citi Capital Markets Origination Summer Analyst Interview student candidate

Posted Oct 11, 2012

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on New York, NY (US) Feb 2011 – Reviewed Oct 11, 2012

Interview Details First round was very stressful. Interviewed on campus by 2 interviewers at the same time. Grilled about not researching company (check up the quarterly reports as well as stock price!), about not understanding basic business/finance etc. Mostly behavioral, with one general case question. Made me stand up at a blackboard to explain (testing for composure). In all, thought I bombed it, then got a final round email.

Final round in NYC 1 week later, consisted of 6 20-minute interviews, all behavioral. One asked basic math, one had a short 10 minute case. Final round was much more about me asking them questions.

Interview Question – "Why did you not research this company thoroughly? Just trying to blow this off? Did you think that there were no other qualified candidates other than yourself you would come?"   View Answer

Negotiation Details – Pretty non-negotiable due to size of firm and program.

Other Details - I applied through campus recruiting and the process took 4 weeks.
