There haven’t been appraisals even equivalent to the inflation rate. No tangible benefits apart from pay. Cost cutting continue and impact a lot of things.

Citibank tries to take care of employees. Try to take feedbacks and work on them.

Dislikes

The main drawback is pay parity. During recruitment the HR will try to make fool out of you. If you don't know your worth or you are under paid in your current organization, then the HR will take full advantage of that to pay you as low as possible. This is the main reason of attrition. When you realise that your teammates are getting paid a lot higher than you, with same work, skill set and designation, you get demotivated and end up leaving the company. Other than that there is lot of work pressure and some teams/mangers are very toxic to work with. You will end up questioning your ability after some time.

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.

...tions 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.

Leaves and salary compensation.

Dislikes

Organizational culture. People are sitting for 17-20 years and have completely spoiled the environment. Too much politics across maximum teams I came across and interacted. More than work 90% of time goes in office politics. HR is good for nothing.

Pay is average, other than that from culture to work to tech everything has gone way bad.

Dislikes

from last 2 year there is lots of politics overall citi uses very old tech. If you wanna bring anything new there are lots of obstacles and politics. Promotion halted, layoff happening. We have senior developers who can't open vim or work with basic python. So overall everything from work to culture to tech to the job satisfaction is going downhill very fast. As soon as market opens, attrition rate would be really high and the good employers would be first to leave.
