      Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 23, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Citadel (London, England)

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter, had a phone interview, where I was asked basic algorithmic question and some questions about my CV. After that I was invited to another phone screen, which was purely behavioral. After passing the 2nd phone screen successfully, I was invited to the onsite interview. Onsite consisted of 5 interviews. They ask you algorithmic questions, some probability, C++ concepts and lot of questions about CV and why Citadel. Felt like interviewers were busy, some kept looking at their phones, some were rude (grilled on why I want to leave my current company and what's wrong with it). One interviewer didn't believe that I haven't seen the problem before, because I solved it pretty fast. Received a reject due to "communication issues" after almost a month of wait.
