I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Citi in Sept 2019
Interview
Citi HR reached out to me for the job role, which was not the job role bunch of interviewers had. Overall the questions asked had no relation with the job description HR provided nor they were relevant to my resume

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.
