Phone Interview

Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Phone interview was 45 min technical. Got asked a harder version of a LC hard similar to parallel courses. Superday was 3x45 min interviews, which ranged from cpp grilling on iterators, memory management, and stl containers such as std::variant, std::vector. After superday came leadership final round. I only had Citadel Securities interested in my profile, leadership call was just resume + behavioral. Recruiter call 2 days after leadership for a quick check in, said my packet is being sent to COO for review. Its been 3 days since then and I've been ghosted lol. All in all, process is going on for over 2 months ago.
