I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
It was an on campus interview for 30 minutes. For first 15 minutes, I was asked behavioral questions on team work and team conflicts and for the next 15 minutes he tested my mathematical abilities by asking some probability, change in volume of cylinder with change in height etc kind of question. Overall it was nice interview, interviewer was nice as well.

Interview
It was a first round with the hiring manager who mostly asked behavioral questions. He described the role and what they do. Overall the questions he asked were trivial like bond market trading hours. I didn’t know about the sessions after the regular trading session.

General questions about trace data and bond markets
One phone call with HR covering background. I was then invited for a technical interview online. I didn't pass the second stage so I don't know the next steps. For the technical interview I was talking with two quants.

Easy questions about analysis, stochastic analysis and easy probability such as expected length of the smallest piece of a randomly broken stick.

Interview
Good overall experience. HR got in touch a few months after application. Interview was basic quant maths including probabilities, linear algebra and calculus. Interviewer was helpful when stuck with hints.

Question 1
prove something in calculus, much easier if you already know the theorem
