Pros: The work culture is very professional with special focus on skill development and stakeholders management. Work is good and involves statistical modeling and use of big data tools. There is exposure to regulatory reporting and interaction with direct business head. Cons: pay is less when compared to the number of hours one regularly puts in office. A lot of validation and audits of the work we do and answering all their queries can be tiring at times. Competition is paying more for the same wirk...Read More

Present situation at Citi due to restructuring is completely different from my experience. Based on personal experience: Global firmwide attempts by HR teams to retain talent by showcasing available Job options within Citi and promoting Internal Mobility. Encouragement by Many higher management individuals across the globe to explore the Career Options within Citi and for the benefits. Citi had offered a very good pay scale that I respect and would always cherish. Several Training Program offerings to upscale the employees was a consistent initiative within Citi which was definitely a very good sign....Read More

Based on the experience that I wish no one should experience in his/her career. 》》When an employee wish to raise a concern genuinely, it needs to be addressed. 》》Employee EXIT Survey Feedback shouldn't be blocked to prevent employee from providing feedback. 🚩Unfortunately in my case, it had been blocked to prevent me from raisingthe serious concerns. 🚩Despite highlighting it to HR partner, the matter had been lingering throughout my notice period of three months till my last day. 》》When a business unit is spanned geographically, every zonal team should respect Time zones of each other. 🚩Unfortunately, my London-based "Indian Manager" had completely disregarded and disrespected it. 》》Hiring a person for certain skill-sets and later setting unrealistic expectations by pressurizing ( Full time production support in all Time Zones ) which leads to deviation in career path, is an absolutely wrong practice, which had been cultivated by my London-based "Indian Manager". 🚩Forcing an employee to resign by threat of enforcing PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM is an another ugly tactic I had faced with my London-based "Indian Manager". 🚩Complete ignorance to my positive initiatives and efforts and focusing on evaluating negatively, finger-pointing mistakes. 🚩Sabotaging an employee's work and reputation is an another ugly practice followed within my team, that I had witnessed and experienced. 🚩London-based "Indian Manager" had not bothered to stop it and had rather overlooked it with silent support. To my unpleasant surprise, such an highly objectionable individual, my female manager at London, is still employed and retained by Citi. Unaware of the fact that she is just aiming at SEVERANCE ALLOWANCE at the cost of her fallen credibility....Read More

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

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

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
