A great place to learn
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
October 19, 2016
Pros: You'll learn how to work with many different kinds of people there. As is common in large companies, some people are easy to work with, and some not so much. But with one or two exceptions, everyone I ever encountered there was very good at what they did. My interactions with people at Citadel helped prepare me for the rest of my career.
Cons: It's a very fast-paced environment. I don't think I would have been able to 'make it' had I joined straight out of college. Coming in as a senior developer meant that I had to learn quickly how to deal with some very difficult people with abrasive personalities. As long as you can focus on your job, though, you should be fine.
