I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Citi in Dec 2017
Interview
I interviewed for Citi bank's Graduate Management Associate (GMA) role through our campus placements. Initial round was resume shortlisting. The second round was a group discussion, which was a simulation round where each person in the group had to take a role (for ex: CEO, branch manager, operations head etc.) and participate in the decision making. The final round had HR and a Senior VP as the interviewers. This round had questions on resume, HR questions (Why Citi, how do you manage xxx (some) situation etc), and a few questions based on the role (for me, the questions were based on economic events). The interviewers were pretty cool and there wasn't any point at which they tried to make me feel tense or uncomfortable. Overall, the interview was average and it was a nice experience.
