A few phone interviews followed by technical chat with team member. Asked about past projects specifically, and followed by some questions that require a lot of working experiences to answer.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel in Sep 2022
Interview
two phone screens. some interviewers were nice and others were more strict, lots of interesting math and research discussed. got asked a flurry of technicals, ramping up in difficulty each time, and even some open ended questions where they explicitly said there is no interview-tractable solution and just wanted to hear my ideas for an approach

Interview
HR phone call, tech phone call, then on site visit.
No food or breaks provided, pretty exhausting by the end when you meet with the manager who I would never speak highly about.
