Can’t think of any. Top management is all greedy, mid management they dumb
Bad culture from top to bottom. Bad all along. It’s really bad.
I have interviewed at 30+ companies, and interviewed with 6+ citadel engineers in the course of a few years, with both cit and cit sec. Citadel has had the most arrogant, nonchalant, (visibly) tired, and unprepared interviewers, who yet try to maintain a chad vibe. They look overworked and toxic. Ev...Read more
I work at a HFT (not Cit) and have interviewed a bunch of Meta employees. They have impressive claims on their resume (boosted engagement by X%, saved Y% in capacity, removed Z% of bad content, etc). However, when you actually ask them questions about their work they know nothing. I had one intervi...Read more
Can you please suggest some interview prep material for Quant roles at companies like Cit, CitSec, DE Shaw, HRT etc? I can use LC for coding preparation. But what about prob, math/stats, brain teasers? Is there a book or a LC equivalent that people use to prepare for the quant roles? Thanks!
Basically title, got a really nice new grad (masters) offer for Cit Sec recently, and I liked the people I talked to in my interview circuit, but a little concerned by the bad reviews, WLB, etc. Friend of a friend who works there told me that Cit Sec is mostly okay culture the hate comes more from ...Read more

I haven't encountered this at any previous firms, and was wondering whether any Cit/Sec employees know what the r...Read more
I'm currently enrolled as a 2nd year PhD student at a top but non-ivy school (one of CMU, UIUC, UW Seattle, UMichigan). I'm strongly considering quitting with a Masters after this semester and I'm interviewing with several top HFT firms (including HRT and Cit. Sec.), as well as GE return offer from...Read more
Currently trying to decide on internship. My main focus isn't on internship benefits but full time benefits (duh), which I'm not completely sure about. Mainly I'm trying to decide between fintech and trading (both swe role). Robinhood: NG TC is ~225k 1st year then 192k 2-4 from what I've seen. Good...Read more
I am looking to make a move from Charles schwab to a more reputable company in the tech space. Key thing I am looking for would be something that would advance my career and give me the opportunity to learn from highly skilled engineers. I have interviewed at Amazon 3x, Google 2x, and FB once. I us...Read more
