I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel in Oct 2018
Interview
Hard hackerrank with multiple questions in 40 minutes, phone screen, on site in Chicago. Citadel cares more about knowing fundamentals as opposed to random LeetCode questions, so if you're theoretically inclined the company is a great fit.
The recruiter is an absolute pro, and the communication is timely and efficient. Absolutely thrilled to work here.
OA followed by 2 technical rounds. Each round has a behavioural followed by leetcode. Difficulty around leetcode medium/hard but it's not that difficult. Solved the problems successfully, interviewers seemed friendly but did not move on. Don't think they are serious about hiring you can see from linkedin how many grads they hire, it's really a waste of both the candidate and interviewer's time.

Question 1
Behavioural questions + leetcode medium/hard. Do leetcode to prepare
I got an assessment after applying I passed all the test cases. after that, after 10 days I got a rejection email that they could not move forward with me. its complete waste of time.
