Process
Citadel came to our school, so I dropped off a resume and got an interview.
The first round consisted of three interviews: two technical and one behavioral with HR. I had really positive experiences with all of them. The questions were of the right difficulty and all focused on algorithms.
One week later, I went on-site for four other interviews. Overall, I did fine, except in the very last interview.
However, although I knew I did not get an offer, Citadel never got back to me.
Questions
A lot of brain teasers and algorithms.
Questions about OS.
