Hi everyone,

Just wanted to give you guys/gals an update regarding - Citi - Full-time Analyst - Operations - London.

Citi will be recruiting ONLY TWO (2) people in Operations this year. They have got rid of the first round altogether, and will be holding only AC. I know there is an AC taking place tomorrow. I told you guys before that there was going to be a first round on Tuesday this week, but it seems like it is not happening. Instead they are having the final round on Friday (tomorrow).

So, I am guessing this is going to be the only AC for Operations unless they cant find the TWO graduates.

I got this update from a friend.

@ IBD thnks for the update mate.

kikiyy

Anyone going tomorrow?

akoo

are u going tomo kikiyy?

kikiyy

yes, and u? just been told this morning that there will be AC as well...how is ur preparation akoo?

akoo

i am not invited yet. As IBD said if the requirement is only two, then it all depends on tomo s assessment. So you mean you will have both first round and final assessment tomo itself...that saves the anxiety isnt it. Best of luck for tomo and pls post about the format.

IBD_Haunter

Here is the format -

  • Numerical test
  • 2 competency based interviews
  • Case study - Report
  • Case study - Presentation
  • Group exercise

tabbycat

IBD_Haunter

@tabbycat, @New_opps, @kikiyy

so guys, have you heard back from them yet after the AC??? my friend hasnt yet. 2 out 12, that's tough!!!

tabbycat

havent heard back yet, i think the offer have already been given out on wed

IBD_Haunter

Offer on wednesday.....eh.... any clue how many offers were given out?? 1 or 2?

tabbycat

So far as I know (if I am not mistaken), I think 2.

Citi's recruitment website is still advertising this post though, any idea why? Or it is just that they havent update yet?

IBD_Haunter

Well, I think they haven't update it yet. Oh well, gotta give my mate the bad news then..... since the two offers were given out on Wednesday.... that means its over for the other 10.

Hi guys,

I'm having a case study soon too. Could someone who's attended the Assessment Centre kindly share their experience with the case study please? for example, what was the case about and what did they ask? I just wanna have an idea what kinda case study could be given to us. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Cheers,

Hey, how was the assessment centre?

audreylee

messy17,
just sent u PM- AC was very intense but good overall. Think we had a good group of candidates so was interesting to work with.
REMEMBER to know why you wanna work for CITI; seems to be the common question that every interviewer seems to be interested in besides the usual competency HR questions. got asked everytime..

Good luck to us all!

saadkhan

Thanks!

Hi shortcake,

I also have my interview on the 9th. All the info I have is from the interview tips they have on the website so i think most of the Qs are gonna be competency based. I've been assigned a three hour slot so I'm wondering how many interview are they taking..!

Cheers!
