Likes

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.

The technology is cutting-edge and you are constantly learning new things. Good Bonus Leave and Public holidays are many

Dislikes

Even if we work for more than 12 hours per day, they will still demand more. People who are their favorites are given preferential treatment, and no skill sets are considered when giving them promotions and appraisals. There is no work life balance Weekends are also screwed as you are expected to be available to work whenever manager calls

Likes

...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.

Based on the experience that I wish no one should experience in his/her career. 》》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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 》》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 raising the serious concerns. 🚩Despite highlighting it to HR partner, the matter had been lingering throughout my notice period of three months till my last day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 》》ASK to submit Self-Appraisal Form, after my resignation. 🚩 When I questioned such purposeless ask, I was asked to submit the self appraisal WITHOUT ANY COMMENTS and as a COMPLETELY BLANK form. 🚩 There was no satisfactory justification for this. The only explanation that had been provided was "Mandatory To complete appraisal formality". 🚩 When you force an employee to "Self-Resign", then such asks of "Self Appraisal" raise questions on the motive behind it. 🚩 The only purpose which I could conclude from it was to spoil my Ratings and my Reputation forever. Only evil intentions could be predicted from non justifiable asks and acts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 》》 I had to exclusively send an email to HR Partner to understand the necessity of "Self Appraisal after resignation", to which she responded that it was not mandatory at all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questionable Asks, Questionable Acts, Questionable Intentions, and Questionable Practices -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
