Working at Citadel Investments

I'm looking for some insight into working in a front office position at Citadel Investments (culture, work environment, hours, comp). I've already tried the search function, but info appears dated or not relevant to the HF side of Citadel.

I know the stereotypes, but I'd rather to speak to someone with direct knowledge instead of believing the hype.

Would appreciate a PM from anyone willing to share their experiences or knowledge.

 

I know a couple developers on the HF side, and their jobs / lives are pretty intense. I know that's not very helpful, but it perhaps confirms some of what you've heard.
