Citigroup Reviews

Likes

After working close to 5 years in this organization and getting promoted from analyst to manager, I think I can write an honest review. 1. The learning and development is awesome at Citi. Having worked at HSBC, SC, JPMC I can confidently say that Citi has a vast library of resources for technical and domain knowledge. I am yet to come across any organization which has such vast knowledge repository related to banking and financial sector. 5/5 for this. 2. The job security is very good. I haven't heard of any layoff atleast in the analytics team atleast between 2008 - 2019 (I worked till December 2019). They will give no bonus and provide 0%-1% hike to make you feel bad and eventually tender your resignation voluntarily but they have never laid off any employee....Read More

1. Hike is really low (4%-6%) for majority of the employees. Do all the negotiations you can at the time of joining. 2. Bonus is subject to market conditions. If the economy is bad, expect your bonus to be like 10-15 days of your take home salary. If the conditions are good, expect 30-45 days of your salary as bonus (till C11 level). 3. Don't expect any promotion for 2-3 years of your joining and even if you get one, congrats you are only getting 10-15% hike in salary. 4. Be prepared to forget about your weekends more often than you think. I should have mentioned working days as 6 days a week to do the justice. 5. Office politics is the worst here. If you are not a Bengali and don't know the language, you cannot survive here. Same is the case in HSBC as well. I would suggest you to learn Bengali and then apply to these two organizations, it would really improve your chances of getting selected....Read More

Your all previous credit will washed off in like minutes. Absolute no role of HR in this process they are just people following top orders.
