Citadel reviews

They have no set hiring practices. They are continually hiring and firing people with no notice or reason. It is said that Citadel is a meritocracy, but it's really all about making the right people happy, not weather you do a good job. Management is full of people who make upper management happy, but can't manage down. Expect to get a great review and then get fired a couple months later without explanation. My boss would commonly say racist and cruel things, and generally act without any sense of professionalism. But they made their management happy, so it didn't matter. Said management who knew nothing about the job they were doing and was simply there to make the CEO happy. There are "flexible hours", but that just means they expect you to work all hours and be available from home. Human Resources is/was trying to dishonestly create a program to bump up ratings on Glassdoor by creating a program to get well-liked current employees to post positive reviews.

1. Toxic environment - A lot of finger-pointing. Your manager will push you under the bus just to cover his mistakes. 2. Solid performers are let go while abusive managers who don't have a clue are kept in the firm. 3. No clear directions. Management turnover is extremely high. Expect a new mandate every 2 weeks. What's worse, some new manangers come in and clean the house, firing people belonging to old regime. 4. Ken Griffin is still thinking he has a technology-driven meritocracy firm. This is a joke.
