I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Citadel in Mar 2022
Interview
Received an OA before the first interview. In the interview, we briefly went through my related experience, and I was asked some typical data structure and algorithm questions. Did not move forward as the interviewer preferred candidates with a different background.
