Citicorp Investment Banking Analyst 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.

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

There are genuinely good and talented people. There are good opportunities to learn and add skills.

Compensation is much better than the market standard Prior to reorganization(mid-2024), the work environment was fine, offering good work-life balance Employees were treated accordingly to their roles and experience

Dislikes

After reorganization, only onsite position/team members are considered for lead, manager, principal engineer, with onsite role preserved due to senior management being based there most of the work is done by offshore, but it is projected only onsite employees contributed because to safeguard their role and senior management wants tobe in saved position Offshore employees are treated like subordinates to onsite employees, even at the VP level Employees with 18+ years exp are treated and compared with juniors who is having less than 4 years exp Employees are under immense pressure, indirectly being forced to resign Suggestion to Management conduct a voting/poll among existing employees to determine who is willing to opt for voluntary retirement or leave with severance pay instead of using phycological pressure to force self-resignation...Read More
