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

...raging employees 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.

》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 till my last day. 》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 pressurizing him to take charge of a different activity ( Full time production support in all Time Zones ) which may deviate him from his 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". 🚩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 continued with silent support. 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.

Compensation is much better than the market standard Prior to reorganization(mid-2024), the work environment was fine, offering good work-life balance Employees were treated accordingly to their roles and experience

Dislikes

After reorganization, only onsite position/team members are considered for lead, manager, principal engineer, with onsite role preserved due to senior management being based there most of the work is done by offshore, but it is projected only onsite employees contributed because to safeguard their role and senior management wants to be in saved position Offshore employees are treated like subordinates to onsite employees, even at the VP level Employees with 18+ years exp are treated and compared with juniors who is having less than 4 years exp Employees are under immense pressure, indirectly being forced to resign Suggestion to Management conduct a voting/poll among existing employees to determine who is willing to opt for voluntary retirement or leave with severance pay instead of using phycological pressure to force self-resignation

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.

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.
