The Citi application process, explained

What Citi's five published stages actually are, why there are no assessment games, what the "skills discovery survey" is and is not confirmed to be, and what to prepare instead.

The Citi interview rounds at a glance

  1. 1Online application — Citi's wording: "Begin by submitting your application through our online portal. Please highlight your skills and relevant experience." Applications run through Citi's careers portal on Workday. The "Match Me" resume upload is a job-matching tool, not a hiring gate.Programs and deadlines
  2. 2Skills Evaluation — a survey or a coding test, no games — Citi's wording: "Take a skills discovery survey for EMEA and global Services programs, or complete an assessment to confirm your coding skills for programs in Tech." Which one you get depends on your program. Citi names no vendor for either.Why there are no games
  3. 3First interview — Citi's wording: "If selected, you will be invited for a one-on-one interview. This will delve deeper into your background and how your aspirations align with Citi's." Competency and motivation, typically around 30 minutes.Citi interview questions
  4. 4Final stage — interviews, an assessment, or a case study — Citi's wording: "Depending on your selected program and location, the final stage will consist of either multiple interviews, an assessment or a case study exercise." US banking candidates call this a Superday; UK reports describe an assessment centre with a group case and a presentation.Practice a mock interview
  5. 5Offer — Citi's wording: "If you are the best fit for the role, Citi will reach out with an offer. Your recruiter will inform you about the details in this case."

What games are in the Citi assessment?

There is nothing to practice here, and that is the honest answer rather than a gap in our research. Citi's published assessment step is a questionnaire or a coding test; no game battery appears at any stage of any Citi process we could document. We are a game-practice site, so it would be easy for us to point you at a hub and let you assume it applies — we are not going to. If you want the practice that actually maps to Citi's real gates, it is the interview questions and the case exercise, both linked below.

No assessment games are used by Citi

Category practice

No evidence found

Citi's own five-stage early-careers page names a skills discovery survey or a coding assessment and nothing else. We searched adversarially for a pymetrics, Arctic Shores, Aon or cut-e invitation at Citi — official pages, vendor case studies, candidate reports, forums — and found none of any kind. Preparing for a game battery here would be preparing for something no evidence suggests exists. The two things that are worth your practice time are Citi's interview questions and, for Technology applicants, timed coding.

Source: Targeted searches for pymetrics, Arctic Shores, Aon and cut-e at Citi, 11 September 2026

Good to know: This page asserts a negative, so here is the standard for changing it: a Citi invitation email, a Citi careers page, or a vendor case study naming a game-based assessment. Prep-site claims and search snippets do not meet it — one of them is exactly how the pymetrics rumour started. If your Citi invitation names any assessment we have not described, tell us and we will correct the page.

Who gets the Citi assessment?

Citi publishes its early-careers process itself, which makes this an unusually clean page to write. Five stages: Apply, Skills Evaluation, First Interview, Final Stage, Offer Extended. The only assessment in that list is stage two, and Citi describes it in a single sentence — "Take a skills discovery survey for EMEA and global Services programs, or complete an assessment to confirm your coding skills for programs in Tech." A survey, or a coding test. No games, no gamified battery, no vendor named.

That matters because the internet says otherwise. Search for Citi and assessment games and you will find a claim that Citi uses pymetrics. We traced it. It comes from a prep site that lists HireVue, pymetrics and Sonru as its own practice simulators — its product menu, not Citi's vendor list — and a search snippet flattened that menu into the factual-looking sentence "Citi uses Pymetrics as part of their interview process." No official page, no vendor case study, no candidate invitation anywhere names pymetrics for Citi. The same page carries an unsourced "50-80% of applicants screened out" figure, which we are not repeating either. We also searched specifically for Aon, cut-e and Arctic Shores at Citi and found nothing at all.

What is genuinely unresolved is smaller, and we say so where it comes up: who actually builds the "skills discovery survey" (Citi never says, and prep sites give three mutually exclusive answers), whether a recorded video interview exists in the early-careers flow at all (Citi's own five-stage page does not list one), and which platform runs the Technology coding test. India on-campus Analyst drives are a separate route entirely — an aptitude-plus-coding test on the SHL (AMCAT) platform, per candidate reports dated 2022 and 2023 — and still no games.

Summer Analyst (internship)

Eight to sixteen weeks starting May or June, for penultimate-year university students, across many business areas and locations. Applications generally open in September the year prior. Live 2027 postings include Banking and Investment Banking in London (33 Canada Square, Canary Wharf), Markets Sales and Trading in London, and Services in New York.

Placement Analyst (industrial placement)

Three to eleven months, start date varying by country, for UK and European students who need an internship as part of their degree. Locations span the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Applications open in September and January depending on the country. These are EMEA programs, which is the region Citi names for the skills discovery survey route.

Full-Time Analyst Program (graduate)

Typically a two-year program for recent graduates with structured development, mentorship and rotational opportunities. Starts in July or September varying by country; applications generally open in September the year prior. Business areas include Banking (Commercial, Corporate, Investment Banking, Capital Markets, US Personal Banking), Markets including Quantitative Analysis, Services (Treasury and Trade Solutions, Securities Services), Technology (Application Development, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Production Support), Research, Finance, Risk Management, Operations, Internal Audit, Human Resources and Wealth. Which of the two stage-two routes you get depends on which of these you pick — Technology means the coding test.

Pre-Internships

Listed by Citi as one of four early-career routes, described as short-term projects that build your resume, aimed at students earlier than penultimate year. Citi publishes no separate assessment detail for these.

Apprenticeships — Belfast, London and India

Belfast Early Career Apprenticeship runs two to six years depending on the partner university (Ulster University, Belfast Met or Queen's University Belfast) across Legal, Markets, Operations and Technology. The London Early Career Apprenticeship runs 18 to 22 months with BPP, with a minimum of 20 percent of contracted hours as off-the-job training, across Compliance, Markets COO and Services. The India Apprenticeship Program is twelve months full-time for graduates with up to five years of post-degree experience, with multiple intakes a year. Citi publishes no assessment detail for any of them.

Forage job simulations — practice, not an assessment

Citi offers virtual job simulations through Forage, framed on its own page as a way to gain experience, develop skills and explore the business, with a certificate on completion. They are optional learning and exploration, not a scored stage of your application and not a hiring gate. Completing one does not put you into the process, and skipping one does not take you out of it.

How does the Citi assessment work?

There is no game-based assessment at Citi

Official source

Citi's own early-careers page lays out all five stages and the only assessment among them is a survey or a coding test. No official Citi page, no vendor case study and no candidate report we could find describes a game, a gamified battery, or an assessment that asks you to inflate balloons, press keys, or sort shapes against a clock. This is a negative finding, and negative findings are only as strong as the searching behind them — we searched specifically for pymetrics, Arctic Shores, Aon and cut-e at Citi, adversarially, and came back empty across every source we fetched.

Source: Citi Careers — Early Career (official process page)

The assessment step, in Citi's own words

Official source

Stage two of Citi's published process reads: "Take a skills discovery survey for EMEA and global Services programs, or complete an assessment to confirm your coding skills for programs in Tech." Two routes, split by program rather than by preference. EMEA and global Services applicants get the survey; Technology applicants get the coding assessment. Citi does not say what the equivalent step is for US or APAC non-Services programs, so we make no claim there.

Source: Citi Careers — Early Career (official process page)

Who builds the survey is not confirmed, and prep sites disagree three ways

Single source

Citi names no vendor. Citi's phrase "skills discovery survey" does closely match the product name of Plum's Discovery Survey — a psychometric questionnaire, not games — and one prep site describes Citi's version in consistent detail: four sections covering priorities and preferences, a short problem-solving set, a self-descriptor with situational scenarios, and social interaction, untimed at around 25 minutes. But that page carries no citation and no link to any Citi or Plum documentation, no Plum case study names Citi, and other prep sites name a different vendor entirely — one headlines "Plum Assessments" while saying the test is powered by Korn Ferry Talent Q, another names Talent Q Elements, a third offers Plum or Talent Q. Three mutually exclusive vendors for one stage is not corroboration, it is copying. Treat the vendor as unknown.

Source: Prep-site attributions, reviewed September 2026; Citi names no vendor

The pymetrics claim, traced to its source

No evidence found

A search snippet circulating for Citi reads "Citi uses Pymetrics as part of their interview process, alongside other platforms such as HireVue and Sonru." Fetch the page behind it and those three names are that prep site's own practice simulators — a list of products it sells, not a list of Citi's vendors. The snippet collapsed a product menu into a claim of fact. If you were sent a Citi invitation naming pymetrics, that would change this page; nothing in the public record does.

Source: Targeted searches for pymetrics, Arctic Shores, Aon and cut-e at Citi, 11 September 2026

Citi's own process page lists no recorded video interview

Single source

Several third-party guides describe a recorded stage of roughly three to five behavioral and situational questions, answered with no live interviewer inside a short completion window. Citi's five-stage process page does not list one. It may be folded into "First Interview" for some programs, or used only in certain regions or divisions — we could not resolve it. Vendor attribution splits irreconcilably between two platforms across sources and Citi names neither, so we name neither. One of the more careful aggregator guides puts it plainly in its own words: Citi describes its hiring stages on its own early-careers pages, but names no vendor for the assessment or the video.

Source: ResumeAdapter — Citi interview process (states Citi names no vendor)

The Technology route is a coding test, platform unnamed

Single source

Citi confirms that Technology programs "complete an assessment to confirm your coding skills" and stops there. Candidate-aggregator sources variously claim three different coding platforms; none is confirmed by Citi and the source naming one of them could not even be fetched. What is worth preparing is the format rather than the brand: expect timed problems and, in interviews, output-prediction and bug-finding exercises alongside a larger design or implementation problem.

Source: Candidate-aggregator guides, reviewed September 2026; Citi names no platform

India campus drives are a separate route — and still have no games

Multiple sources

On-campus Analyst drives in India do not follow the EMEA and US early-careers spine. Two independent candidate write-ups describe Round 1 as an online test on the SHL (AMCAT) platform with roughly five sectionally-timed parts — verbal and English, quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, CS-subject multiple choice, and a coding section with two problems — with no navigation between sections and no negative marking, followed by a techno-HR interview and a hiring-manager round. Both accounts explicitly describe no games and no video stage. Date them honestly: those reports are from 2022 and 2023, and we found no recent India campus evidence, so treat the route as reported-then rather than confirmed-now.

Source: GeeksforGeeks — Citibank on-campus interview experience 2023 (India)

The final stage genuinely varies, and Citi says so

Official source

Citi's own wording is that the final stage "will consist of either multiple interviews, an assessment or a case study exercise" depending on program and location. Candidate reports fill in the shapes: US banking candidates describe a Superday of back-to-back 30 to 45 minute interviews with VPs and MDs, sometimes with a case study or a timed modeling exercise; UK graduate reports describe an assessment centre with a group case exercise, an individual presentation and competency interviews. The variation is not prep-site confusion — it is Citi's stated design.

Source: Citi Careers — Early Career (official process page)

Citi publishes no pass rate, and neither do we

No evidence found

A figure claiming Citi assessments screen out 50 to 80 percent of applicants circulates on the same prep page that misattributes the vendors. It is unsourced. Citi publishes no pass rates, no benchmark and no scoring model for any stage, and we will not invent one.

What happens in the Citi hiring process?

Citi's five published stages, verbatim

This is Citi's own description of its early-careers process, quoted rather than paraphrased, because almost every disagreement online is with a source that never read it.

  1. 1Apply — "Begin by submitting your application through our online portal. Please highlight your skills and relevant experience."
  2. 2Skills Evaluation — "Take a skills discovery survey for EMEA and global Services programs, or complete an assessment to confirm your coding skills for programs in Tech."
  3. 3First Interview — "If selected, you will be invited for a one-on-one interview. This will delve deeper into your background and how your aspirations align with Citi's."
  4. 4Final Stage — "Depending on your selected program and location, the final stage will consist of either multiple interviews, an assessment or a case study exercise."
  5. 5Offer Extended — "If you are the best fit for the role, Citi will reach out with an offer. Your recruiter will inform you about the details in this case."
  6. 6Note what is absent: no games, no named vendor, and no separate recorded-video stage.

Source: Citi Careers — Early Career (official process page)

Which stage-two route applies to you

The split is by program, and Citi states it explicitly for two groups and not at all for the rest.

  1. 1EMEA programs — the skills discovery survey. This covers the London, European, Middle East and Africa internships, placements and graduate programs.
  2. 2Global Services programs — the skills discovery survey, in any region. Services covers Treasury and Trade Solutions and Securities Services.
  3. 3Technology programs — a coding assessment instead of the survey. Citi confirms the assessment exists and names no platform.
  4. 4US and APAC non-Services programs — Citi does not say what stage two is for you. We will not guess; your invitation email is the only source that settles it.
  5. 5India on-campus Analyst drives — a different route entirely, with an aptitude-plus-coding test on the SHL (AMCAT) platform per candidate reports from 2022 and 2023.

What the interviews actually cover

With no games to prepare, the interviews are where your preparation time should go. Our researched Citi question set lives at /hirevue/questions/citi.

  1. 1Why Citi, and why this specific business area — Markets, Capital Markets, Commercial Banking, Services or Technology. Citi's own stage description asks how your aspirations align with Citi's, so answer that question directly.
  2. 2Why finance, and your motivation for the industry.
  3. 3A walk-through of your resume and background.
  4. 4Competency examples answered STAR-style: teamwork, leadership, working under pressure, handling a disagreement with a colleague, managing multiple deadlines and competing priorities.
  5. 5Commercial awareness: current issues facing financial services and trends affecting Citi. Hypothetical and judgment prompts appear too, including what you would change first if you were running the bank.
  6. 6Division-specific technicals: markets and products for Sales and Trading, accounting and valuation for banking, and for Technology a coding screen plus project deep-dives.

The final stage: Superday or assessment centre

Citi confirms the final stage varies by program and location. Candidate reports describe two recognisable shapes.

  1. 1US banking Superday — back-to-back 30 to 45 minute interviews with VPs, Senior Associates and MDs, commonly three to five rounds in one day.
  2. 2A case study, sometimes with preparation time and then a discussion, or a timed modeling exercise in banking and markets roles.
  3. 3UK and EMEA assessment centre — a group case exercise worked through as a team, an individual presentation, and competency interviews.
  4. 4Prepare to defend a view out loud rather than just present one: the individual case format asks you to argue your solution under questioning.
  5. 5Rehearse the group exercise dynamic separately. Contributing substance without steamrolling is a different skill from a one-on-one interview, and it is assessed as one.

India campus: the separate track

Reported by two independent candidate accounts, dated 2022 and 2023. We could not verify that it is still current.

  1. 1Round 1 — an online test on the SHL (AMCAT) platform, with roughly five sections: verbal and English, quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, CS-subject multiple choice, and coding with two problems.
  2. 2Sectional timers, no navigation between sections, and no negative marking, per both accounts.
  3. 3Round 2 — a techno-HR interview covering DBMS and SQL (joins, string queries, SQL versus NoSQL), data structures and algorithms (arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs), operating systems (deadlocks, basic Linux commands), and your internships and projects.
  4. 4Round 3 — a hiring-manager round: motivation for the company, five-year goals, comfort working with legacy code, team conflict, work-life balance.
  5. 5No games and no recorded video stage appear in either account.

When is the Citi assessment?

The single most useful timing fact about Citi is that there is usually no deadline to work back from. A live London Summer Analyst 2027 posting states verbatim: "We will be recruiting on a rolling basis therefore we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. There is no deadline for applications." A New York 2027 posting leaves its close-date field blank. Applying early is the practical deadline, and we publish no specific 2027 date because Citi publishes none. Everything below was checked on 11 September 2026.

A live posting dated 7 September 2026 for 33 Canada Square, Canary Wharf states in its own words: "We will be recruiting on a rolling basis therefore we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. There is no deadline for applications." Rolling recruitment means the class fills as it goes, so a strong application in September beats the same application in January.

How to practice for the Citi assessment

Start by deleting a task from your list: there is no Citi game battery to practice. That frees the hours most candidates lose to the wrong preparation, and the honest place to spend them is the interviews, the case exercise, and — for Technology applicants — timed coding.

For the skills discovery survey, the useful preparation is not drilling. It is a questionnaire, and the vendor is unconfirmed, so there is no simulator worth building against. Sit it in one quiet session and answer consistently: forced-choice and situational questionnaires flag people who contradict themselves across similar items far more reliably than they reward anyone trying to guess a desired profile.

Step 1

Read your invitation before you prepare anything

Citi's stage-two route depends on your program: EMEA and global Services get the survey, Technology gets a coding assessment, and Citi says nothing about US and APAC non-Services programs. The invitation email is the only document that tells you which one you are sitting and by when.

Step 2

Apply early, because there is no deadline to aim at

A live London Summer Analyst 2027 posting states there is no application deadline and recruiting is rolling. That is not permission to take your time — it means the class fills continuously. Submit a finished application soon after the September opening rather than a polished one in the new year.

Step 3

Answer the survey consistently, in one sitting

Prep-site descriptions suggest an untimed questionnaire of roughly 25 minutes covering priorities and preferences, a short problem-solving set, self-descriptors with situational scenarios, and social interaction — though the vendor and the format are unconfirmed. Treat it the way you would any work-style questionnaire: quiet room, one session, honest and internally consistent answers.

Step 4

Prepare six competency examples against Citi's own framing

Citi says the first interview will "delve deeper into your background and how your aspirations align with Citi's". Have STAR-structured examples ready for teamwork, leadership, working under pressure, handling disagreement, managing competing deadlines, and a failure you learned from — and a specific, non-generic answer to why this business area. Our researched Citi question set is at /hirevue/questions/citi.

Step 5

Rehearse the final stage in the shape you will get

US banking candidates should practice back-to-back interviews and stamina: three to five 30 to 45 minute conversations in a day is a different test from one good interview. UK and EMEA candidates should practice the group case and the individual presentation, including defending a solution under questioning. Run one timed mock at /mock-interviews/citi.

Step 6

Technology applicants: practice timed coding, not a brand

Citi confirms a coding assessment and names no platform, and unverified sources name three different ones. Prepare the format instead: timed problems, short output-prediction and bug-finding exercises, and a larger design or implementation problem, in whichever language your track uses. Expect project deep-dives in the interviews that follow.

Step 7

Do not prepare Forage simulations as an assessment

Citi's Forage job simulations are optional learning with a completion certificate. They can help you talk concretely about the business in an interview, which is a real benefit — but they are not scored, not a stage, and not a substitute for preparing the interviews.

Step 8

India campus applicants: prepare aptitude plus core CS

If your route is an on-campus Analyst drive, candidate reports from 2022 and 2023 describe an SHL (AMCAT) test with verbal, quantitative, logical, CS-subject and coding sections under sectional timers with no back-navigation, then techno-HR and hiring-manager rounds. Revise DBMS and SQL, data structures and algorithms, and operating-systems basics alongside aptitude practice. Confirm the current format against your own invitation — those reports are several cycles old.

Citi assessment FAQ

Does Citi use pymetrics games?

No. Citi's own early-careers page lists five stages and the only assessment among them is a skills discovery survey or a coding test. We traced the pymetrics claim to a prep site that lists pymetrics, HireVue and Sonru as its own practice simulators — its product menu, not Citi's vendors — which a search snippet turned into a sentence that reads like fact. No official page, vendor case study or candidate invitation names pymetrics for Citi.

Does Citi use a game-based assessment at all?

No, on all the evidence we could find. Citi's published assessment step is a questionnaire or a coding test, and we searched specifically for pymetrics, Arctic Shores, Aon and cut-e at Citi across official pages, vendor case studies, candidate reports and forums without finding anything. If your Citi invitation names a game-based assessment, that would be new evidence and we want to hear about it.

What is the Citi skills discovery survey?

It is stage two of Citi's process for EMEA and global Services programs, in Citi's own words. Citi names no vendor. Prep sites attribute it to Plum, a psychometric questionnaire rather than a game battery, and other prep sites name Korn Ferry Talent Q instead — three mutually exclusive attributions with no citation between them, so the vendor is genuinely unconfirmed. What is not in doubt is the shape: a questionnaire, not games.

Does Citi have a HireVue video interview?

Citi's own five-stage process page lists no separate recorded video stage. Some candidates report a short recorded interview of roughly three to five behavioral and situational questions, but the platform is unconfirmed and Citi names none — sources split between two different vendors. It may be folded into the first interview for some programs or used only in certain regions. Prepare concise spoken competency answers either way; our Citi question set is at /hirevue/questions/citi.

What test do Citi Technology applicants take?

Citi confirms that Technology programs "complete an assessment to confirm your coding skills" and names no platform. Candidate-aggregator sources claim three different coding platforms and none is confirmed. Practice the format — timed problems, output-prediction and bug-finding exercises, and a larger design or implementation problem — rather than a specific product.

When is the Citi application deadline for 2027 programs?

There generally is not one. A live London Summer Analyst 2027 posting states verbatim: "We will be recruiting on a rolling basis therefore we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. There is no deadline for applications," and a New York 2027 posting leaves its close-date field blank. Summer Analyst and Full-Time Analyst applications generally open in September the year prior; apply as close to the opening as you can.

Are Citi Forage job simulations part of the assessment?

No. Citi presents them as optional experience-building and exploration with a completion certificate. They are not scored, not a stage of the application, and not a hiring gate — though the business knowledge they give you is genuinely useful in the interviews.

Is the Citi India campus process the same?

No. On-campus Analyst drives in India run a separate track: two independent candidate reports describe an online test on the SHL (AMCAT) platform with verbal, quantitative, logical, CS-subject and coding sections under sectional timers with no back-navigation, followed by a techno-HR interview and a hiring-manager round. No games in either account. Those reports are dated 2022 and 2023, so confirm the current format against your invitation.
