Citadel Work Experiences
4.0
Bloated with Project Managers and PMOs
Software Engineer • Current Employee
January 24, 2021
Pros: Great company, great work, challenging problems, visionary Founder!
Cons: Recently, there has been a bloating of the Project Managers and PMO office.
3.0
Decent pay, long hours
Software Engineer • Current Employee
June 23, 2024
Pros: Good benefits and very smart, hardworking coworkers. Citadel is among the best in their field.
Cons: As an engineer, you and your work are more of a cost center for the business, and not a priority. Work-life balance is not a priority (which is fair).
2.0
Management thinks money can solve all problems
Software Engineer • Former Employee
August 14, 2020
Pros: Pay is high, some good apples among the sea of bad ones.
Cons: These guys will exploit you like crazy. Not just during working hours, but also if you don't make them happy, they'll find every corner of your contract to cut you out.
The culture is representative of this huffing and puffing, grudge-holding attitude. If you're coming from tech, you won't like it here unless you're a senior executive who wants to do the huffing and puffing.
