Perguntas de entrevista [1]
Pergunta 1
Core Java concepts, binary tree, string and SQL indexing.
The job description mentions Reactive Programming, MongoDB, Spring, Cloud and microservices, but none of questions are relevant to the job description.
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.

The initial interview round is conducted by Karat, a third-party technical screening company. You will participate in a live, person-to-person online coding assessment to evaluate your core engineering competencies. All in all, it was good.
Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Citi (Londres, Inglaterra) em fev. de 2026

Easy first round they use screen tool to ask you write some code. Second round is scheduled then got cancelled saying they will not proceed further? Waste of time in my opinion, also the interview person has nothing to do with the role you apply for.
