Pay is average, other than that from culture to work to tech everything has gone way bad.

Dislikes

from last 2 year there is lots of politics overall citi uses very old tech. If you wanna bring anything new there are lots of obstacles and politics. Promotion halted, layoff happening. We have senior developers who can't open vim or work with basic python. So overall everything from work to culture to tech to the job satisfaction is going downhill very fast. As soon as market opens, attrition rate would be really high and the good employers would be first to leave....Read More

No good projects, no job security. If you're joining TTS department then please don't join Citi, they're still working on old technologies, bad politics and favoratism are the things here.

Nothing. The company especially the Bengaluru Location is like a Milk production Diary and the employees are the livestock. Once they are milked enough then they are sent out for Slaughter.

Dislikes

Everything. They hire you at a very high package, in fact way more than current market trends so that you don't get employed elsewhere after you join Citi. Then the work culture, management, pathetic bosses, layoffs and always uncertainty makes it so difficult to survive. Eventually you succumb or go with the flow to lose your mental balance.

Likes

Flexible timings and good perks while joining. Global exposure and can understand the complex system.

Dislikes

Lot of governance and process. They still living in stone age during cutting edge technology. There is no clear vision by senior management and not even bother to change. Think twice before to join

- Cab Service - Annual Subscription to Udemy and other courses

Dislikes

- Work-Life balance is hectic. Have to work even on weekends - Worst management. There is no quality work and there is no core engineering happening here. - Lot of office politics especially in the Bangalore office. If you are a bootlicker, you will get good promotions. - Especially, managers in the USPB team in Bangalore are the worst. They don't have basic empathy and treat their employees like hell. Don't join the Bangalore office. It's worst....Read More

Positives are the Ramanujan IT sez itself with lots of greenery with world class garden and buildings - There used to be lot of Table tennis players which I have learnt and become good at TT after office hours (2015-16 period) but it sort of reduced after COB initiative as many members where shifted to other cities - Exposure to international clients and banking systems

Dislikes

- Almost all of the top management(C11, C12, C13 etc)are upper caste Brahmins - During my time 95 percent of TL- C09s and Manager- C10s were Brahmins across NAM, Singapore, India and Australia ops but recently I heard that they are giving promotions to other communities as well. But only the salary and levels are given not the entire team management role. It is very demotivating to know even after years of hard work you are not given promotions and good appraisals. I guess world is not fair I found out the hard way. - No regard for your health, due to my demanding investment role, handling huge sums i used to have lunch someday at 2.30, someday @ 1.30, sometimes at 3.30 or 4.30 in the evening, this is due to different cutoff time. And working 11 to 15 hours depending upon the volume and there is commute for another 2 hours per day. I literally felt like living in office!! After all the hard work living as bachelor getting proper food @ 11 and 12 in night was hard. I usually show all the frustration by having large amount of food at late night. Due to this unhealthy life style and work culture I had developed a health condition called GERD/reflux where your splinter muscles loosens and tend to vomit a lot. Got 3 endoscopy done first was in 2019 last was this year 2024. I couldn't go to a job due to this condition. - Every job is demanding so do your job but it is not your life. Take good care of yourself by having small breaks and have some fruits in between. Stay away from smoking and drinking. You got your family to take care even after your 40 but there is always someone to replace you at your company...Read More
