I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Citadel (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2019
Interview
Received one technical interview and did not advance. Was asked a few questions over the course of 15 to 20 minutes. The questions weren't difficult, but the interviewer's cocky demeanor made giving a complete answer difficult at times.
you don't know what division you will get into before you start the interview rounds. I was with fixed income and was asked very advanced questions about fixed income and central banking in the first round. Then in the second round was with 3 other traders individually, first math questions, second again FI quant questions and last one was very casual.
