How was your Citadel phone screen ?
Was it LC style ? System design oriented ? Anything else ?

  • Mine was LC style with an easy and a medium part to it. Had a bad experience and did not enjoy communicating with the interviewer, which was not pleasant or effective. I have more conversational chemistry with my aloe plant. HR ghosted me afterwards. I coded up everything and passed the tests, except that the last method I wrote was crashing on the last element because of a missing nullptr check for an edge case and I got rejected... Perhaps for that and for making a couple of trivial syntactic C++ errors which I corrected along the way. After phone interviewing with 4 FAANG and 4 HF, I definitely know that I want to work for a real tech company. It’s not even a question.
    My experience with PDT, HRT, and Jane St were all much much better than Citadel.

      How long did Citadel ghost you ? They are doing that to me also after the phone interview , been more than a week. Perhaps it means rejection

    • @Timbktu, I have been ghosted for 2 weeks now :D

      I read multiple posts in blind where people had similar experience even though majority of them feel they provided optimal solution.

    I interviewed there several years ago so may be out of date. Very little LC style, lots of low level c++.

  • Very much team dependent; language specific knowledge is often asked
