I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
Handed in my resume and cover letter through campus and and their website. Got called for an interview, spoke with both a full time analyst who came from my university and a somewhat senior kind of guy. They were of good attitude, kind and friendly. I did not get accepted but I appreciate their being positive. They started with questions about my resume, asked me why I would be better at IB rather than consulting, and about my resume. Then came the hard question...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was kind of like a case question for consulting. His friend wanted to buy a restaurant with certain profits and sales, and he wanted my input. I tried to keep up and understand concepts like opportunity cost, management fee, and work through understanding whether he should do it or not. I don't think he liked it that much, he needed to help me out.
Structured. It consist of 3 rounds in total. HR will host the interview. First round of Case Study, then Technical with the team leads of the team. After that, will be Q&A session. Lastly with the head of the department.
I had a behavioral with a current analyst, then a Superday with 3 members of the division. During the Superday, I was also assigned a case study to be conducted and presented live to the Superday interviewers.
Interview with HR and a current analyst (behavioral + CV). Another round where there was 2 interviews from people from the department and then a prresentation based on a document they present
