Pros

Work with really smart people who want to get things done and deliver results for the business A strong culture of meritocracy Everybody in engineering is technical, including the senior managers, and therefore you have so many opportunities to learn from people and develop as an engineer Engineering sit and work very closely to the business and are basically part of the business area itself. There is a very healthy relationship with the business and the business see technology as a key enablement to the business itself.

Cons

In some areas there is a lot of legacy code but in general there a lot of concrete steps being taken to uplift this and move to a better place but it is a big challange

Pros

Citadel is a fast-paced work environment that prides itself on winning and meritocracy. If you're a highly driven individual confident in your abilities, you can make a significant impact in a short period of time. Citadel is an amazing place to create your own space -- if you work hard enough on something you think is important, Citadel will likely reward you with the resources to make further improvements. Most talented co-workers I've had the pleasure of working with in my entire career. Everyone is eager and driven. Amazing Coronavirus response as well. Citadel was ahead of the curve in every respect and has put together a thorough, non-mandatory return to work plan in the late summer.

Cons

Citadel can be a tough place if you don't have the requisite skills or aren't interested in working hard. Working hard doesn't mean 80-hour weeks, it just means diligently working during the time you do put in.
