Citicorp Deputy Manager Reviews

Likes

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.

- 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

Dislikes

Organizational culture. People are sitting for 17-20 years and have completely spoiled the environment. Too much politics across maximum teams I came across and interacted. More than work 90% of time goes in office politics. HR is good for nothing.

Likes

Awesome salaries. Good company policies. Like car rental policy for C12 and above.

Dislikes

Although it's depends on team/project, I feel there is always work pressure. You'll get highlighted by following processes and not by doing actual work that you hired for. Parental insurance is around 60% heigher side

Good company to learn to work under pressure. Very good holiday policy. Best part is free transport.

Low work life balance. You will have to support extra hours. You'll feel constant pressure to deliver in short timeline. More focus on delivery and timelines rather than quality.

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

Gurgaon location has been hijacked by few old employees, they are operating as per their convince, I have seen many new employees resigned but no one took feedback so that they can improve. They are with the mindset we will hire new one.

It's a good brand to be listed on your resume.

Dislikes

Work Culture , Politics , pathetic WLB , most of the employees are brought in from the service based companies , like WITCH , LTI etc , and they do bring their culture in to CITI , the toxic way of commanding , speaking , and doing 1 showing 10 , etc. Try to avoid this org in all possible means. In case you happen to be one like me who ends up joining this , the only light in the tunnel is the name of citi on your resume , which "may" be good for your long term career....Read More

It is good place to run and take an experience for corporate life if you can stay there for 2-3year you will get lots of knowledge about how things work

Dislikes

There is not at all work life balance You have to put extra hours everyday and even some Saturdays for which you will get an extra leave but you don't have that much time to take a leave and rest If you workaholic person then it is ok but if not then you will get culture shock
