I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citi (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2015
Interview
The recruiter sent me email and let me fill the application process. Then I got a phone screen session. The interview took approximately 30 minutes. The interviewer was very kind and humorous. We first introduce ourselves, then went to the interview session. I really wish to join the team but I guess this position requires extremely high on coding.

I applied online. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY)
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.

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.
