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 applied online. I interviewed at Citi (London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was a relatively difficult interview, but not bad. It was a great experience overall. The interview was a bit weird, where I was supposed to ask questions too, and hence I was not prepared that well. I answered all the questions correctly, but fumbled when the interviewer asked me to ask him some questions.

Question 1
After explaining the job role in very much detail (over 40 minutes of explanation), he asked me to ask some questions
Design and scenario based questions, not straight from theory or books. Keep your concepts clear in programming and skills for developer roles. I applied for senior role, more questions they were expecting were in distributed architecture, complex KARAT coding etc.

Question 1
System design questions, related to event processing for communication between different microservices.
The initial interview round is conducted by Karat, a third-party technical screening company. You will participate in a live, person-to-person online coding assessment to evaluate your core engineering competencies. All in all, it was good.
