4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I applied for a couple of companies before this and learnt from experience on how to write a resume highlighting your strengths.
According to me, I feel writing a resume is like a sales pitch. You have to describe everything about you in a way that you catch the panel's attention all in one sheet of paper.
My advice for everyone would be start making resumes as early as possible and ask seniors for feedback and keep upgrading your resume. You will get to know how to write an attractive resume for a particular profile through experience itself.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My experience was extremely pleasant. HR was very friendly, even asked me to drink tea and coffee :)
To be truthful, I was pretty nervous but it's not as scary as everyone think it is. HR's are generally friendly and will make you feel as comfortable as they can.
Coming to the questions, I wasn't asked any technical questions and was mainly asked general questions. They just test your proficiency in speaking English and the confidence in your answers.
Tips: My tips would be to be cool, be yourself, don't lie and boast(they will get to know of it)
Be sure to know some history about the company and why you want to join it
Be confident in your answers and you have to demonstrate a surity in your answers. i.e you have to have a explanation for every answer you give.
Lastly be confident in your outlook as a whole
Skill Tips: English proficiency is a must. Be fluent and confident in your English speaking.
Skills: 1)communication, Basic Knowledge, Ability To Convince, Able To Speak With Perception
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: I always wanted to join a multi national company
And citi is one of the major financial service provider all around the world.
It is a 200 yr old company and thus is a very prestigious company.

Experience: 15 minutes given for an almost impossible to get an answer problem. Later asked to explain your solution. The approach matters much much more than the final answer.
Tips: Be cool, think basics.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Things like, why Citi, prior experience with data analytics, examples from real life for mathematical concepts highlighted in Resume. Some general awareness related questions asked!
Tips: Be thorough through the resume. Act smart and reply what they want to hear. It's okay to ask them for a few minutes in case you want to think before answering something rather than mumbling what comes to your mind first!
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Again things like why Citi, why analytics. This round seemed more out of formality than for selection.
General Tips: Keep calm, and take the interview as a conversation - unless it's a stress interview. Always take your time and think before you answer anything rather than mumbling out the first thing that comes to your mind.
