I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Citadel Securities in Dec 2022
Interview
Coding challenge, and two phone interviews both of which were quite open-ended and had multiple follow-ups (initial implementation, how would you improve from there, any better solutions?) I couldn't really finish the last part to make it more optimal, which I think was a reason why I failed
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can't disclose, but it required modeling the financial market and required a good knowledge of different data structures for optimal runtime complexity
I was reached by a recruiter, and I was later called for a personal interview which happened on zoom. This was for HK location. There was no online assessment test.

Implement queue using vector, no constraints were given. I did it but took some time - verdict - reject.
