Entrevista
Online application, once submitted you are invited to do some tests - quite hard. Then I received an invitation for the first round interview, I did this over the phone. It was two separate thirty minute interviews with employees from the division I was applying to not HR. I was then invited to an assessment center which lasted a whole day pretty much. This consisted of 90 mins to write a report on a case study and prepare a flipchart presentation, there was a retest of the maths test, three 30 min interviews and a fourth in which I had to present my findings of the case study. The day concluded with a group exercise in which we were observed by the assessors. Interview questions were pretty standard, why Citi? Why sales and trading? Sales or trading? Teamwork, leadership, influencing others and then just questions about the contents of my CV.
I had my first-round interview last week, and it was entirely behavioral besides "Why Citi?" and "Why S&T?" Very straightforward questions about life experiences: When was a time that you put a lot of time/effort into something and it did not work out? What did you learn from it?

Roughly 4 rounds. One is the Automated filtering which leads to a psychometric test/behavioural test. If you pass, the next is a first stage interview with other candidates. You have to read some sentiments and present trade ideas and critique yourself/each other. The next interview is the final one where you meet MD/VP + Trader for a rapid markets test and fit test. Be alert with the current markets news and research deeply on all asset classes to be well prepared.
