I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
Long and drawn out.(initial contact in June; position "on hold" in November). Minimal communication unless I initiated it. Gave them ample opportunity to tell me I was no longer considered and they never really did.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was really that difficult - typical "how do you handle direct reports not in your location", "how do you handle difficult situations", etc.
Multiple rounds across directs and peers of hiring manager. Did not use canned interview questions. The first round was typically the most difficult where the second rounds are more ensuring a good mutual for.
Many rounds even for a junior position. Combination of fit and analysis interviews. This was over 10 years ago - early 2000s so please take with a grain of salt.
Talent Acquisition team were good. The TA team member explained the process and guided it me through it. Lots of interviews though. It was a lengthy process but thorough. I met most of my key stakeholders through the process.
