I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Citadel Securities
Interview
Phone interview went from introductions to some behavioral questions, then finally into some technical questions.
Interview was well structured, and nothing that I didn't expect; however the interviewer was quite rude and dismissive when I had any issues with the content.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel Securities (New York, NY) in May 2024
Interview
First round interview was a 1h phone interview with a fundamental analyst. He first asked for a stock pitch or an interesting market event. Then he moved onto asking 3 medium/hard probability questions. I then moved to the second round. The second round consisted of the same structure but this analyst focused more on fundamental questions about companies, such as ratios.
