Colloquio
First round was behavioral, pretty standard why Citi, why QA, tell me about resume and challenges, Tell me a time someone in your team didn't cooperate and you had to step in. Final round was more difficult (see below). I was expecting more math and brainteasers because it was for Quant, but it was all financial and behavioral.

Colloquio
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.

Colloquio
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.
