J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Citi en oct. 2011
Entretien
Applied through university career. Arranged interview on campus.
Very nice interviewer. Asked questions about projects on resume, very detailed questions.
You have to prepare to answer every detailed question on almost all projects listed on resume.
Then had a programming skill test. You may write algorithm in any language you familiar with.
The programming skill test is definitely the key.

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.

Good overall experience. HR got in touch a few months after application. Interview was basic quant maths including probabilities, linear algebra and calculus. Interviewer was helpful when stuck with hints.
