Business Outlook
Pros
You will learn a lot. Citadel will teach you formally in training classes (taught by the best professors), teach you in practice (by working with exceptional employees at the top of their game), and teach you to love, appreciate and respect financial markets.
Cons
The atmosphere is filled with alpha personalities. This can make people uneasy. There are political undercurrents. Management legitimately tries to rise above the politics and reward merit, but that can fail at times. Entire divisions can be let go through no fault of the "little guy," but there is a "throw the baby out with the bath water" attitude.
