The recruiter was nice but the interviews in the final round were strange. Some of the interviewers were super mean and condescending, which was not nice. It felt like they were not trying to help you do your best.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Citadel

I was reached out by a recruiter to interview for a contractor position on a trading team. The question they asked was strange and nothing to do with the position.
