Citco reviews

Some horrendous middle management in Dublin office, often extremely difficult to deal with, who avoid communicating with lower staff grades at all costs (unless it is to criticise them). Most senior account managers are only interested in their own promotion and delight in telling staff every yearend that no pay raise or bonuses can be awarded. Often highly stressful monthends due to workload and lack of support of colleagues (they are too stretched to help). No in-house restaurant facility (just a seating area and microwaves/fridges), despite staff size.

Long hours of overtime, no work life balance at all so you work hours of OT with no warning and culture means you have to stay, promises/big statements that never happen. You are expected to do the same thing forever with no room for growth and there’s not enough people working on clients so it is always stressful. Repetitive work with no challenges or career development. There was an employee survey last summer, still no changes. Morale is lower than ever and I don’t know anyone who isn’t trying to leave. Also you get insulting raises and no bonuses. Senior management are dismissive of any problems, if you try to explain a problem to a VP or higher they look bored and tell you to fix it yourself and complain you aren’t a team player or patronize you. Very cliquey and there is a lot of office politics, if you have a bad team or manager then you will always struggle and work very long weeks (50+ hours) no matter what. If you have a VP that likes you then you will be promoted no matter what. The whole company has a lot of turnover which should tell you everything.
