Citi Employee Reviews & Ratings

RUN! Extremely long working hours! I had yo login on every Sunday night to prepare for Monday! If I could give it a negative rating, i WOULD!

Time constraints with huge workload

High pressure and very high expentancy

In some cases, too much time is wasted on meetings which takes away valuable working hours. Lack of direction in some teams; lack of innovation and design thinking. Some managers are immune to feedback and have unrealistic expectations, they are also the ones fostering an unhealthy work culture of elongated work hours.

Current reorganisation is taking a toll on the morale, stressful and taking too Long

Nothing as such seems. No cons

Citi unfortunately has lower pay compared to competitors

Work life balance is bad and less focus on skill development. Decisions are made by senior management and is left to junior and mid level managers to figure it out and justify those decisions. Citi pays well to people joining from competitors which leaves internal talent somewhat dissatisfied.

No cons here. Nothing bad

Little liaison with the actual business owners

Can be typically bureaucratic like a lot of large banks

Bad, worse, or worst, time will tell

little room to make a real impact as an individual contributor, Bureaucratic as you would expect from a big corporation

Lots of calls Stress from angry clients

Constant reorganisation - you are just a number to them (e.g. mass redundancies) Managers who dont listen to their more experienced employees (yes men, without consulting the team) Work in unbalanced in teams and noone cares

have to extend work timings

Extreme bureaucracy, no growth opportunities

working on site 3 times a week.

- Poor culture - Negligent towards employees - Redundant wasteful work

1. Days are spent in navigating office politics and endless amount of gossips 2. Lack of recognition 3. No governance around strategic planning and decisions 4. Big barrier between devs, BAs and Business stakeholders

Workload , culture and the pace of work

Constant system issues. Old technology. Company too big, so a lot of different dept. to deal with, so no one is on same page, even between branches. Working with public can get intense and being constantly disrespected by customers with little to no support from management & corporate. Not too much turn over can be bittersweet since you have to work with people with no drive, that should not be working there, having to picking up their slack. Can work up to 6 days a week, but still within 40hrs. Consolidating positions to put more on a workload on 1 person due to shortstaffing. Bonuses are discretionary, and the goal posts are always being moved, so seems almost impossible to get bonuses, but you're still expected to meet monthly and annual goals.

small bonus, no work life balance

Manager could better manage and delegate tasks properly

Technically very slow to adapt to new tools. HRs are very unprofessional ,basically,they do nothing.

* no challenges * mangers arent so great, especially the ones that were recently promoted. Those are the ones that micro manage * felt dumber leaving than joining...

Have nothing to add here

uncertainty around the current restructuring

Systems, decision making and sense of ownership need to improve

Good entry level job. No real complaints

Leadership politics gets in the way of everything. Quality is an after thought -- if at all.

Low to no bonuses recently despite high performance

Not such till now for sure

Lot of time spend in meetings

Senior managers (MDs) easily intimidated--heavy bias in recruiting Entitlement culture by some leaders leads to self-preservation Cycles of layoffs - 10K impacted recently. (sad) Regulatory scrutiny recent years has led to higher demands

Very bureaucratical but there's a holistic strategy. Or at least there was when I joined in 2021. They compete for the best deals but there are 2-3 better banks which translates into several buy-side processes.

Sometimes we have deadlines that exceed output that can be delivered and superiors can offer concerns about it.

Technology Internal Control Unmotivated staff

None to comment at this time

Very difficult to get promoted within the company you have to leave to get promoted

it is too busy to enjoy myself

Busy. Back 2 back meetings

Office days werent very flexible

Don’t not seem like they care about your advancement in the company

Poor work life balance,difficult to grow in the company on your own merit, unrealistic expectations

Management should work on the hierarchy and not micromanage

Not that I am aware of so far.

Working in Citibank is the best experience professionally i have and you can enhance your ability.

Less Salary….sometimes long working hours

stressful dealing with customers and long hours
