Three months passed. I was contacted by a recruiter while abroad the USA in late September about a role in NYC, and I passed a phone screen. Citadel then flew me to their Hong Kong office for an interview with the team in Chicago, IL, which went well. A month later, HR admitted that she forgot to perform an interview. Around Thanksgiving week, there was an abrupt organizational change. There were a few more snags.

The role had switched from NYC to Chicago and now included dual responsibilities as a Software and DevOps Engineer. I agreed to both conditions without any reservations. My recruiter contacted me in December to set up an interview appointment with the new Director of Global Infrastructure. Then, a week before Christmas, my recruiter advised that the position was on hold indefinitely.

Three months later, my family and I were left high and dry by Citadel, as their words became broken promises.

Why do you want to work for Citadel?
