Citicorp Softwaretest Engineer Reviews

Likes

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

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

Salary is at a decent level among other banks. They are organizing sports at big level also.

Dislikes

Job is completely insecure. Manager monopoly is there. Faverirosum is at peek in my project. No action will be taken if we raise a voice to HR and other channels for escalation. Nowadays Citi is not recommended to join.

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

Dislikes

However, most of the time the ones that get promoted are the ones who the bosses prefer, irrespective of the body of work most of the time managers do not value ur commitment to learning and your skillsets.

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

Citi has multiple initiatives to help employee skill themselves, also it provides good compensation to right candidate who is at right place at right time.

Dislikes

It's advantage of having options for employees to skill themselves remains a distant fruit to most of starting or mid level workforce as most of those spend maximum of their time and overtime working/supporting daily application. Have got the same feedback from most of people. So after spending some 3-5 years with organization thereis high probability that you would feel lagging behind your other friends working in similar organization and would feel difficult to switch....Read More

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
