Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
The interview process consisted of a single round of 2-interviews (single round meaning it wasn't a "you passed here's interview 2" they just gave me both straight up). Then, there was a final round consisting of two technicals and one behavioral. The technicals were all C++ CoderPad questions focusing on DSA, sometimes with an ambiguous problem that required clarification. The behavioral was with an engineer who asked about my experience and projects. It was not "name a time" rather "what did you learn" and "how did you...".

Citadel Work Experiences
- 4.0Really Good ExperienceSoftware Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesApril 29, 2021Pros: The internship program is among the best, if not the best in the entire country. There are an amazing number of perks, swag, and other benefits provided to interns. They prioritize your development as an engineer.Cons: You are matched with the project you are assigned to, so there's a chance the project might not be to your liking.
- 3.0Great pay and smart colleagues, but poor work-life balanceSoftware Engineer Intern • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesOctober 2, 2022Pros: High compensation that matches performance. You'll always be technically challenged. Colleagues are all highly driven people.Cons: Engineers work an average of 50-60 hours a week.
- 1.0Pay Raise, Terrible CultureSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 3, 2016Pros: Decent pay, free lunch. I got a 50% raise when I joined the firm, which was pretty nice. The catered free lunch was just okay, but hey, it was free.Cons: Bad culture. Be prepared to be yelled at by traders if anything remotely related to your responsibilities went wrong. If you accomplished something, however, no one will come congratulate you, because performing well is "expected". My manager constantly sent out work-related emails at 3 am, and we were constantly working overtime past 8 pm. Work-life balance was out of the window.
