I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Citadel (Sydney) in Jul 2023
Interview
Completed a series of online tests involving basic probability, numerical reasoning and extended response. I’ve yet to receive any feedback as to the outcome but the questions seemed relevant to the job description while not requiring in depth knowledge of the field.

It began with a Resume round and then a Phone call with a trader. Then I had a super day that was a couple of hours long . Overall, it was very organized and efficient.
