Opportunities to Grow

Where professional growth skyrockets

Consistent training means Citadel employees always have the opportunity to level up. And Dan would know: In his 11-year tenure, he has been promoted four times. Harrison’s next move? “Mentoring and developing junior talent to give them the same opportunities I was afforded,” he said.

At Citadel, you’re given a lot of responsibility and autonomy, which means you can have a huge impact and you can see the results of that impact instantly.

Constantly Challenged

Fast-paced challenges lead to ample opportunities

When Sam was looking for his next career move, he wanted fast-paced life cycles with more responsibility. “Citadel certainly didn’t disappoint,” he said. At Citadel, Sam develops software for a specific purpose — “out-think and outperform everyone else” — but stiff competition is saved for the competitors, not company culture. “Citadel is, without doubt, the most collaborative environment I have ever worked in.”

There is no other company out there where you can work on high-impact projects from day one and grow your career faster.
