I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Citi (Budapest) in Dec 2017
Interview
After applying online, I got a phone screening interview, then a second interview over the phone and then a third and last interview online. I could not really hear the interviewer well during the second interview and the interviewer was over an hour late for the last interview. In the end, I was surprised to see that the position was completely outsourced and that I would not be hired by Citi but by a recruitment company, which limits your benefits.

Professional. Started with an initial interview with HR, then the second interview was a panel of VPs-SVPs of the team. Took me about 3 weeks before I was called to be accepted, and then a few more weeks before the offer.
Two rounds for a junior position. The technical interview is not difficutly.. questions assess your ability to work under pressure and team work. Technical questions include difference between an investment bank and commercial bank and knowledge about different financial products, excel skills, and some Black-Sholes, Greeks questions
Quick and not too much on the technical aspects. They ask about your knowledge on financial products. Lots of manual aspects to the job but learn all you can on the on-the-job trainings offerred.
