Citi

fewer upside as fewer landmark deals when compared to banks like GS

location of company - Changi business park

Lack of yearly compensation and increment

None that i am aware of

Work life balance wasn't great

- Many things are overlapped. - Less efficiency.

Management level, Tech Stack, Work Ethics, HR Process

Onboarding can be slow and confusing

Not much upward mobility after 3 year mark

- Huge mess - You're given big responsibility from day 1 - that's true, but in fact nobody is responsible for anything. The management pushes the responsibility down the ladder, analysts are forced to lead the projects, but do not have any power to push their counterparties to speed up the projects, in effect the projects get stuck and delayed, management gets angry, employees get frustrated. - Counterparties on a project fight and blame each other instead of working for common goal - that's across teams and departments, so must be a Citi culture thing - Very corporate, siloed - there's no knowledge transfer between teams, departments, not much room for your creativity or your own ideas - It seems not much faith is put in employees in Poland - more ambitious projects are taken exclusively by US colleagues - 3 days / a week in the office (a must)
