I did a Citi training program for 3 months, and at the end of the course, there would be the possibility of being hired, along with the presentation of a final project. In theory, everything would work out, but it was a total disaster: Citi failed practically 99% of the class for not having English proficiency (even though participating in the training course didn't have this requirement) and vast experience in the field (which 99% of the people didn't have, since they were entry-level people).

I did a group interview, and I gave a presentation that caught the attention of two managers and I was invited to an interview with two managers for two positions: .NET Developer and Application Manager. I did both interviews and they were all very technical, but the lack of care from the managers was very clear, which greatly discouraged me on this journey. Oh, and I only got feedback from the process after FIVE WEEKS (that's because I sent an email asking for feedback)!

In short: I went through an extremely rigorous process for 6 months, with a lot of disregard, dubious information, and non-transparent Management/HR.

Tip: for anyone in a career transition, sincere advice: RUN AWAY FROM CITI!
