Citi interview preparation

Walk into Citi prepared.
Know what it looks for.

Citi is one of the four largest U.S. banks and the most globally diversified financial services firm, operating in roughly 90 countries with five interconnected businesses — Services, Markets, Banking, Wealth, and U.S. Personal Banking. After a multi-year transformation under CEO Jane Fraser, the bank has emerged as the turnaround story of 2025, returning over 50% to shareholders, exiting most legacy retail markets, and reshaping itself around its "crown jewel" Treasury and Trade Solutions franchise. Citi behavioral interviews are calibrated against three Leadership Principles — We Take Ownership, We Deliver with Pride, We Succeed Together — and four core values (Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork, Inclusion), with a heavy emphasis on accountability, regulatory mindset, and ability to operate effectively in a still-transforming organization.
