How the loop works

Citi runs two visibly different hiring machines. Its very large India technology intake is a classic campus funnel: a timed, non-navigable AMCAT-style online test (aptitude, logical, verbal, CS MCQs plus two coding problems), then a resume-and-fundamentals technical interview leaning on OOP, DBMS/SQL, operating systems and puzzles, then a short HR conversation, all usually finished inside a day or two. Its front-office US and UK recruiting runs on phone or first-round screens followed by a Superday of three to six back-to-back 25-45 minute interviews split across behavioral or Citi Leadership Standards, technicals, a case study and a resume deep-dive, with sales and trading skewed toward markets views and a stock pitch, and the quant track adding a math and probability battery plus some coding. Offer calls in banking and markets typically land within hours to a week of the Superday.

These 21 writeups cover software engineering, data & science, investment banking and other roles, India campus tech + US front office. 20 of them were posted under a forum handle, so we could not verify the authors’ identities.
