I had a first stage interview through the Karat Platform. The interview process was clear and straightfoward. It was an hour interivew and the interviewer asked 5 Java theory based questions and then we moved on the coding part where I got asked to resolve a bug and make 3 improvements. The interview went almost perfect, it was very good imo. Next thing I see after 40 mins is a rejection email from Citi. I don't understand what they actualy want, do they want to build a whole infrastructure in the span of 40-60 mins. Honestly, this is a joke. They didn't even review the interview report correctly. Some bunch of incompetents.

Applied online. Was asked to schedule an assesment in a 2 day period. Prepare for 1 day and gave the karat interview on the next. Karat interview was good. I cleared all testcases for 3 coding questions and answered 2/4 mcq questions in 50 mins. I was positive I did well but next day got a rejection email. Dont understand what more they expect?!! I guess a PERFECT candidate.

Design and scenario based questions, not straight from theory or books. Keep your concepts clear in programming and skills for developer roles. I applied for senior role, more questions they were expecting were in distributed architecture, complex KARAT coding etc.
