Citadel Securities Quantitative Researcher interview experience

I got a campus recruitment email inviting me to apply, and shortly after I was scheduled for an initial interview. The process felt quick from the start, like they were moving immediately once they had my application.

I then ran into the assessment gate. I did an online assessment after applying, and I didn’t pass it, so I didn’t reach the phone interview stage. The overall feeling from start to finish was that it was efficient and direct, but also unforgiving—if you slipped on the assessment, that was basically the end of the road.
