Citi HR called to let me know that they were proceeding with my application.
After that, I was contacted by the scheduling team for the first, second, and third rounds of interviews. It's critical to realize that the individual who called me to set up the interviews knew nothing other than scheduling. And, There won't be enough avenues for you to contact staff if you have any query. So, it is a one way traffic.
After several days have passed and the three rounds have been completed, HR has just vanished and is no longer reachable.
Also there is no change of status in https://citi.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/ . The "Business Review" status is still shown, indicating that there have been no interview failures or rejections yet.
This makes it quite evident that they had a pre-selected candidate and that the hiring process was a fake show.
The HR is thoroughly corrupt and shameless.
So, your talents and abilities will not be the deciding factor in your selection if you are participating in the Citi recruitment process.
