Pros

Small-company style speed of execution, and proportionate impact from your contributions. Great opportunities to re-invent applications and deploy cutting edge infrastructure and services. Good peers, nice offices, free food

Kontras

Bias toward rapid execution can lead to technical debt. Benefits package not at the same level of competitiveness as compensation

Pros

Great Pay, Excellent Benefits, Catered Food for lunch each day.

Kontras

You're a number. Top Management is too disconnected from the workforce. Results are all that matter limiting room for development

Actually care a little more about the employees, not just put on neat events.

Pros

With hard work and a non-complacent work ethic, a person can create significant change, both within the firm, as well as within their own career. Excellent compensation and benefits at most levels, and within technology, if a tool or third party product is needed to fit a solution, cost is not of concern as long as the solution is proved out.

Kontras

Citadel once could be described as a small firm full of exceptionally bright people that would not take no for an answer. Technologists would face a problem and work together to craft solutions for the firm. The company truly felt like one unit moving towards a common goal. As things changed, Ken unfortunately let in the belief that only persons with certain educational backgrounds or experience would lead to the next...

Money is the bottom line at the end of the day, but if there is to be a continued investment in technology, I would suggest truly looking at where technology has moved in the last few years, how people now learn, and take a pulse on the true happiness factor of employees.

Pros

- Fast-paced, productive, and result-oriented environment - Interesting work: both from a finance perspective (constantly evolving trading strategies, asset classes, etc) and pure technology perspective (solving real scalability and resiliency problems) - Technology is deeply respected and tech culture is long-term focused - Very horizontal. Everyone contributes. Thin "management layer" - Little to no "face time"...

Kontras

- Path for growth isn't obvious due to very horizontal structure - "Crunch time" isn't common, but can be stressful and time consuming - Can be competitive

Pros

- Modern Tech stack, greenfield development using new hardware and great dev environment. - Dynamic environment, developers are expected to expand their skill set and be able to contribute on client and server side too. - No Project Managers! Developers are free to chat with Business users directly, brainstorm new ideas and create innovative solutions. - Great travel and relocation opportunities. Citadel has offices...

Kontras

- Time zone difference. Sometimes UK and Milan employees stay till late (and US employees start super early) to maximise the time zone overlap between the offices.

Pros

Compensation, smart people, name recognition

Kontras

Bad culture, death by meetings, ill-equipped managers

Pros

* Forward-looking, innovative culture. * Extremely intelligent colleagues that are highly motivated to succeed and are also pleasant to work with. * Interesting and challenging work. Citadel is a place where you can stand out and rapidly grow your career. It's small enough that interaction with senior management and investment professionals is the norm as a software engineer. Every day there are opportunities to...

Kontras

* Turnover is high, even in the technology organization. Eighty percent of the people that I started with two years ago are no longer with the firm. * Recruiting and hiring managers aren't always on the same page. As a hiring manager, I've had a few instances where a candidate has interviewed well, has the right technical and soft skillset to excel in the role and we were excited to bring them on, yet the candidate was...
