I have a an interview coming for a software engineering role with their NXT Network. I’m hesitant to go through with the whole thing because of the WLB horror stories I hear on this platform. So, if you work or have worked there, is it really as bad as Blind says? Some background. I currently work 9-6. Sometimes I work through lunch, stay a little late or come a little early. However, I choose to do that and the management actively discourages that. There’s never an expectation on me to overwork. I presume from what people are saying here that this is NOT the case in Citadel. Is that true? YOE: 2.5 TC: £103k #citadel
I heard from an ex-colleague who went there, Citadel has shittier culture than Goldman ( and GS culture is already shit ). But citadel will pay you like Royal. You’ll be in a golden handcuff. Good luck
Get the offer then worry about this
If you care your lunch time, it might not be a good fit.
It’s team dependent as to hours but it is 100% in office. You will lunch at your desk.
Don’t mind lunch at desk. Are you expected to work through it? I don’t mind that actually. Would you mind sharing your hours or clarifying whether they are flexible or not?
As mj says, it is very team dependent. Lunch at desk is not all the teams. My team is very much 9-5 with a good 1h lunch break, thanks to narrow area of market we focus on. Others, not so much. There are incredibly good pockets in Citadel where you can get paid well, do interesting stuff and get good wlb. Though some of these vary between teams, one thing that always is there is the impact. If you are not working on an impactful project you are gone. Which sounds stressful but actually it is a formula that ensures that you are always working on something that has an impact on the bottom line.
Citadel folks. How much are you making? The fat paycheck makes it worthwhile
