Pros: Citadel is a fast-paced work environment that prides itself on winning and meritocracy. If you're a highly driven individual, confident in your abilities, you can make a significant impact in a short period of time. Citadel is an amazing place to create your own space. If you work hard enough on something you think is important, Citadel will likely reward you with the resources to make further improvements. Most talented co-workers I've had the pleasure of working with in my entire career. Everyone is eager and driven. Amazing Coronavirus response as well. Citadel was ahead of the curve in every respect and has put together a thorough, non-mandatory return to work plan in the late summer.

Cons: Citadel can be a tough place if you don't have the requisite skills or aren't interested in working hard. Working hard doesn't mean 80-hour weeks; it just means diligently working during the time you do put in.

Pros: Good food, good people, great everything.

Cons: No cons to speak of in my mind.

Pros: Citadel is a place that constantly changes, and as a consequence, it gives you plenty of opportunities for growth. Raise your hand if you are ready to take charge of your career. You will be rewarded with opportunities that are pushing the limits of what it means to innovate. To succeed, you need to combine a deep understanding of financial markets, advanced technology, and a focus on delivery.

Cons: It's change and innovation, all the time. You have to love ambiguity, be able to work under pressure and deliver. If that's not for you, Citadel isn't for you.
