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

...t 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

The culture of the company is amazing and the payscale is better than industry standards with hybrid work culture

Dislikes

From past few years they have started cost cutting, so no celebration and office party

Can't say about other departments but in my team there was nothing to like

Dislikes

...ect a basic level of respect and work life balance at work place then stay away. They even expect you to work on public holidays but wouldn't care to pay you or grant compensatory leave for that. Seniors are more interested in bossing around rather than execution of real job. The work culture is extremely toxic to say the least. People who are working here are either finding opportunities to leave or so frustrated that they have no hope left.

Worklife balance id good. One would get almost all technologies to work on. IJP option is really good, if you are not satisfied then easily apply for IJP. Promotions are not good but appraisals are fine. Competitive salery. Overall experience is good. Citi is a better place to work. Flexible working hours. Currently 3 days work from office.

Dislikes

Bonus is quite less as compared to orher banks I feel. Its a big company so lobby is a concern which mostly big shot company has. Rest all is fine until you meet with bad bosses.

...ecurity. They will remove them after a few days or they will push you to resign. Layoff affected a lot of employees in India and no one talked anything about this Part of the cost-cutting they targeted directors to the above level but when it comes to India all the MDMDsand directors protected each other and removed C05 to C11 employees from Citi.
