Easy interview process, after the interview I just didn't feel that this would be a good place for me culturally. The hiring manager was very nice but seemed really clueless and very disorganized, this just really turned me off from the company. Had several other interviews which went great and the team seemed really happy speaking with me.
Ultimately I moved forward with another opportunity just because I didnt feel this was the right place for me. Also a VP title is extremely common at Citi and the pay they offered was equal to an analyst salary at another bank I worked at which was very surprising. Overall the culture paired with the low salary was not appealing to me, people seem nice but frankly I think they are much better options in finance
3-4 interviews.
Study the topics in depth and the company in depth, practice a lot.
First with Human Resources, then some peers and then my boss.
Others can have another interview with the boss’s boss.

Interview
Worst interview process of my career. Received a sketchy, spam-like Karat assessment link without any initial HR screening; I literally had to message HR via LinkedIn just to verify its legitimacy. The actual interview was outsourced to Karat and designed purely to stress candidates, giving only 1 minute for intros and a rushed minute for Python MCQs. Post-interview, there was zero feedback. I had to beg HR for updates, as they lacked the basic decency to send even an automated rejection email. Completely unprofessional and unstructured.

Question 1
Give an intro about you in 1 minute and just cut me off within 30 secs
Recruiter called me for position. 1st interview was scheduled shortly after. Interview was pretty standard no trick questions. Interview personal were very professional andd asked for the interview to be more of a conversation and not just one sided.
