Application

The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Citi.

Interview

I applied to citi bank in April-2020. The recruiter contacted me via email for phone screen and set up phone screen with GCB team in June.

After phone screen, I again received an email after 5 days for virtual phone interview with the team. The recruiter set me up for virtual team interview. All team mates were nice and technical.

After virtual team interview, there was complete radio silence for couple of weeks. When i reached out they recruiter (Werner) asked me for my documentation (H1-B related). I provided everything and asked him if i was selected for the role, he then said they would conduct one more round of interview but these documentation is for attorney review. A week later the interview was scheduled and again radio silence for a week. I had to reach out again to ask if i have been selected and what are the next steps.

It has been in total 3 months now, the recruiter just responds to email with one word or one sentence responses and asks me to wait for attorney review to complete. I don't know what is taking so much time, i have never seen any technology roles take such a long time for the results.

I was so eager to hear back and work with the team (the team was actually very good).

The recruiter has not kept me posted on anything or any proper process guidelines and wasted so much of my precious time.
