Applied for the Software Engineering role. Got an OA on HackerRank. It had only 2 questions but the second one was difficult. I probably would have been able to solve it if I had more time and if I hadn't wasted most of my time on the first one.

Can't share actual questions but the difficult one was the graph question
Really awful interview experience, the people didn't explain anything that was happening and it was all really corporate. I wouldn't apply again and from what I've heard from friends the work culture is very stressful there anyway.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Citadel
