Question 1
What has been the biggest challenge in your current or past employments?
I applied online. I interviewed at Citi in Nov 2022
Interview
7 mins into the interview the hiring manager told me that she was looking for someone with banking experience because she ‘does not have time to babysit anyone’. Blamed it on HR for not screening properly. For a job description that calls for professionalism, this was deeply unprofessional behavior.
It was a sham-- they already had an internal person they wanted and were just going through the motions because they needed to show they vetted lots of people. Citi has an internal mobility "process" that is a joke-- its a policy on paper-- they really don't care about the integrity of the process or finding the best person for the role (particularly true for female candidates)
