I applied online. I interviewed at Citadel (New York, NY)
Interview
Pretty straight forward interviews discussing your past experiences and understanding of the role. Technical discussions will mostly be in regards to your resume or a short hypothetical case-like question. Very friendly interviewers and overall solid experience.
First you do an online coding assessment, then interview with head of recruiting, asking a mix of fit and technical questions, didn’t get to the next round, the next steps would consist of four technical interview

Interview
I had a frustrating experience interviewing with them. After multiple rounds of interviews, including a take-home assignment, they completely ghosted me and never responded to any of my follow-up emails. The complete lack of communication and disregard for candidates' time is disappointing and unprofessional. This experience left a lasting negative impression.
