I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (Montreal, QC)
Interview
I applied online through my University and got an invitation for a phone interview within 10 days of my application. The phone interview lasted about 40 mins and there were 2 interviewers. The questions were very straightforward - basic Java, SQL, Unix.
For the next round, there were 2 back-to-back interviews which were video conferencing from their Toronto office. The questions were about my previous experiences, skills and further in-depth questions about Java, SQL and other preferred languages, and some fairly easy coding questions.
I got a call next day with an offer from 2 different teams at Citibank and I was asked for my preference.
two rounds, one behavioural, one technical. technical round was a little weird, nobody turned on their cameras and there was no greeting. just asked me to pull up a sheet and do some pseudo coding
