Prepare for a challenge. Every interaction and every email is part of the interview. My face-to-face time was about 12 total hours of interviews, networking, etc. If you're able to apply to an Undergraduate Summit day, do it. It's an 8-hour commitment, but you learn a lot about the people there, and the different tracks available. I was in a pool of about 50 people, but it really prepares you for the case study interview. If you make good connections here, you'll be able to network more before the next steps... 1. Apply on Cit's website for the program. 2. Get invited to a first round interview, which is about 25 minutes. (Behavioral, expect to talk about your experiences and connect with your interviewer). 3. If you pass first round, you'll be invited to a Super Day - which is 2 behavioral interview and 1 case study. (If you're going for HR, you'll have 3 behavioral, no case study). During your down-time, you'll still be expected to interact and NETWORK. Every single person in the room that works for Citi is going to be taking notes on you and has some kind of say at the end of the assessment! 4. You'll receive either an offer, a hold, or will not receive an offer a few days after your Super Day. Notes... - Know your resume in its entirety. - The process is extremely competitive because they never over-hire interns. Interns are put directly into the pipeline and if they perform well, can be offered a FT 2-year rotational position at the end of their internship. In order to make sure it isn't internally competitive while on the job, Citi makes it harder to get your foot in the door. - Citi's buzzwords are: NETWORK, GLOBALITY and INCLUSIVITY - Have a different answer for every interviewer even those they all answer slightly similar questions. They don't call/contact your references and put you through several interviewers in order to make their own well-rounded opinion on whether or not you'd be a good fit for the program. - They are an extremely progressive organization and want to see if you will fit in culturally - you don't need to *know* anything about finance (be intellectually curious though!) but humility, willingness to learn, and ability to accept feedback will go a long way. - ALWAYS have questions prepared: do your research on your interviewers on LinkedIn, and ask 2-3 questions at the end of your interview.

The interview consisted of several behavioural assessment questions and a knowledge test appropriate to the branch applied for, which assesses your understanding of the branch and the work you are expected to conduct there.
