Process
For Summer 2027. I had 2 rounds of virtual technical: one was LeetCode Object Oriented Design style, I got something similar to LC 1801 but easier for first virtual, and then design a simple Wordle solver for my second round. Both virtuals had like one question based off of my resume as well.
Made it to the onsite superday, which was just one technical and one behavioural.
- The technical was 15 min going into one specific part of my resume, and then I was given trapping rain water LC (note the recruiter told me it would be same style but instead I was given algorithmic LC instead so maybe don't trust them).
- Behavioural was a resume grill with an MD and "why do you want to work at Citadel".
