I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Citadel (New York, NY) in Jul 2024
Interview
Had a horrible, pushy interviewer. He basically told me that the Citadel interview process takes 2.5-3 months, and that if I could not commit to declining any other job offer sent to me while still interviewing at Citadel, they would not interview me. I told them that I could not reasonably do so and that I would be very surprised if they could find any candidates who are not lying when they commit to that. The interviewer made multiple more attempts to push me to commit to that before concluding the interview and rejecting me from the process.
