      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel (New York, NY) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      The interviewees don't particularly care about you and will make comments making fun of you if you miss something. The interviews are very fact based rather than problem solving based.
