Citadel is a place where skills and merit rise to the top
Intelligent peers. I worked at both FAANG and Citadel, and I have to say that my peers at Citadel are extraordinarily smart, helpful, and dedicated.
Great career growth prospects. I have seen many strong performers get promoted "out of band". People who demonstrate their capabilities are praised, promoted, and compensated.
Rewarding. The work and the projects taken here are incredibly fun.
Great internal programs. The NXT program gives engineers direct mentorship from the firm's top-level managers and C-level leadership.
Hard to get in. Interviewers are tough.
