Citi visited our campus on 12th August 2020 for the position of Technology Analyst at Pune/Chennai Location. There were 3 rounds for selection in the company. The CGPA cutoff was 6 and all the branches were allowed to apply for the test. Around 800-1000 students gave the first round -online test.

Round 1 (Online Test): The first round was an online test conducted on Amcat which was composed of 4 sections which had to be solved in a duration of 1hr 55 min. Overall there were 55 MCQs and 2coding questions.

After the first round, 90 students including me were shortlisted for the next round which was an interview round.

Round 2 (Technical Interview): This round was a technical interview round. There were 2 interviewers. The interviewer asked me to give a brief introduction about myself. I started my introduction by telling most of the things that were written on my CV. Then she asked me the following questions:

  1. What are Data structures, classify them with examples.
  2. What is an array? What is a Linked list? Differentiate between both of them.
  3. What is SQL used for? What is MongoDB? How do you retrieve data in Mongo?
  4. Is MongoDB better than SQL, if yes then why? If no then why?

Round 3 (HR round): In this round, the interviewer asked me some common HR questions

  1. Tell me something about yourself.
  2. Why do you want to join Citibank?
  3. What motivates you to be in this software industry and what do you look up to when you join any company?
  4. Will you leave Citibank if you get an offer from another company which pays you more salary?
  5. What are some ethics and values that you must keep in mind while you are working for a bank?
  6. Do you have any location preferences?

Tips: Be diplomatic in your answers and try to make them feel that you really want to join their company.

Finally, the company selected 25 students from the campus. However, I could not make it to the final list because of the last round.
