The hours were long, but that is to be expected when you're making over 100 grand straight out of university

Excellent place to work, very hard to get hired (% who apply vs. those hired 10x harder than Harvard)
Feb 7, 2023 - Quantitative Researcher in Chicago, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Working along the best and brightest in a fast-paced collegiate environment at the forefront of investment management and technological progress, bridging the gap between laborious human research and artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Portfolio Managers are best in breed, and the market-making side teaches you so much so quickly you are almost guaranteed, as long as you are committed, to become incredibly successful in investment management over the long-run. Every hedge fund will want to hire you should you decide to leave Citadel.
Cons
Hard work and showing up is a necessity, not a choice. Entitlement is not tolerated. If you view these as cons, Citadel is not the place for you.

Mar 13, 2023 - IT Support EngineerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Pays well, good benefits and healthcare
Cons
If you work in support prepared to be chastised by angry traders. Archaic WFH policies that required you to go back into the office even if your job could easily be completed 100% remote. Not a whole lot of room to have any time to learn and progress in your career as you are glued to the phones all day.
