PunePosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a Citi hiring process that centered a lot on Karat-style technical screening, and it felt more intense than I expected for how early it happened.

After applying through the portal, I ended up scheduled for the Karat interview, which opened with a brief introduction and then moved into Java questions. The technical portion wasn’t just superficial—there was a heavy debugging and test-fixing component too, where I had to get code working and deal with multiple classes/test cases.

The interview questions leaned on core Java concepts and also came with more scenario-style expectations, especially for someone targeting a senior level. I remember getting pushed on distributed architecture concepts and having to handle complex coding tasks
