I applied online. I interviewed at Citi in Aug 2014
Interview
I applied for the management associate role last year March and only secured an interview four months later. I totally forgot about this application, I wasn't expecting their call when they told me I had passed the first stage which involved numerical and verbal assessments. The Interview process was fair enough to be honest. someone that takes a lot of time to do their research before an interview, would have found them a bit easier.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked basic questions concerning my knowledge of current economic trends, and what my solutions would be to the problems being faced. Was asked to give a personal definition leadership
give an example of a time when I had to lead a group and what challenges I faced. Also my CV stated that I once worked as a finance volunteer, thus I was asked a few questions pertaining to ratio analysis,of which I failed to properly articulate as I haven't come across ratios in quite a long time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citi
