Citicorp Assistant Manager-Banking salaries in India

Likes

Decent place to start your career in IB... You get to see the harsh nature of the profile first hand... In your first job itself!

Dislikes

Long hours coupled with an atmosphere of distrust especially with seniors. Also compensation is low for the demands placed on the employees especially the analysts and senior analysts. The company culture is terrible with a lot of non transparent discussion. What is said and what is done is hugely different...

Pay/Comp is great. You realize this especially when you apply for new jobs & most of the companies fail to match it. Job security is top-notch & work-life balance is comfortably manageable. Lots of leaves too.

Dislikes

Work becomes stagnant/monotonous after a while which is when you start looking elsewhere. However other companies might not be able to provide good w/L balance so its trade-off that you settle for.

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 there is high probability that you would feel lagging behind your other friends working in similar organization and would feel difficult to switch.

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.
