Citi-Interview Roadblocks

Sep 17, 2019 13 Comments

Is it just me or does Citi not seem to have itself together? What I mean is within the past 3 weeks I interviewed for 3 different roles 1 in Jacksonville and 2 in Tampa. 1 of the 2 in Tampa I had a discussion with the hiring manager, but have yet to hear about next steps. The second interview I had 2 weeks ago, the hiring manager confirmed that she wanted me to come in the following week for a 2nd round, but now I'm being told there's a hold on next steps.

How am I supposed to take the miscommunication/lack thereof? Seems very unorganized and unprofessional if you asked me.

  • Citi, as most big bank, are a hot mess. But, nothing is a hotter mess than DB, get out.

  • HR recruitment at Citi is truly terrible, HR try to abdicate nearly everything they do back on the people hiring , they end up doing HRs job , which in this game is a recipe for failure I’m sad to say :( I truly hope this improves soon

    Maybe they think you tap-danced around their questions and decided not to proceed.

    But yes, the hiring process at Citi is a mess. Can't be worse than DB though...

    My experience with Citi Jax was also terrible. The recruiter communicates like he's texting his buddies. They don't respond to emails about next steps either. I did one phone screen with 2 team members over the phone and then they brought me in for onsite with the hiring manager. I didn't like the latter experience, it seemed very hurried. I haven't heard anything since and it's been 2 weeks. I really hope they don't contact me because I have moved on to other options, and I would be tempted to voice my opinion about their recruitment process.

    • Sorry to hear about that. Similar to you I had an interview last week, was told by the hiring manager that they wanted to bring me in this week or next for a 2nd round and in this same week when following up on logistics I was told they've put a pause on next steps. Ridiculous.

    Sounds like your recruiter is motivated and your profile looks good to multiple HM but you're losing out in advancing compared to other candidates and proceeding.

    Ask the recruiter for candid feedback, why are the HMs passing on you? Bad luck or can you do something to improve in your interviews?
