I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview process had three technical coding rounds. Two rounds were scenario-based coding questions, where I needed to understand the problem requirements, clarify edge cases, design a solution, and implement it during the interview. The other round included two LeetCode-style algorithm questions. Overall, the interview focused heavily on coding ability, problem-solving under time pressure, and communication while working through ambiguous requirements.
OA then phone interview, discussed about experience, coding rounds, and some open ended questions afterwards. The last 5 - 10 mins was for interviewee to ask questions back. Didn't pass this round :(
