Pros

Free beer after 5. That’s it.

Cons

Overtime is expected, no work life balance, morale is awful, gestures from management that go nowhere, raises and bonuses are so bad, work is boring and repetitive, no room for growth, understaffed and a lot of stress. Promotion raise was an insult after the year the company had.

Pros

Free juice and a convenient work location

Cons

1. Super-annuation component in the salary which is a major cause of concern for most of the employees. 2. AVP's & VPs with no prior knowledge of this field being hired to such critical posts. 3. No work-life balance as work hours are insanely high and resources too low. 4. Unable to take leaves due to man-power crunch. 5. Micro-management of the topmost level.

Thank you for your feedback. As you would be aware, we are in the midst of a transition. Every transition is different and there are multiple variables involved. Therefore it is crucial to have a structured and transparent framework in place in order to ensure that goals are achieved. We have been transparent in communicating on this subject with our employees. The transition methodology used in Citco is a tried and tested global framework, includes risk mitigation, has a robust governance mechanism at various stages, includes senior management involvement in hiring and decision making and allows flexibility to accommodate unique situations and requirements. The transitions team works simultaneously with business teams, divisional interfaces and senior management to ensure a smooth transition. We understand there could be some challenges during a transition and are hopeful that these would settle down in due course of time once things are streamlined. With regards to Superannuation, Citco is a paternalistic organization and hence we wanted to care for our employees even after their retirement due to which we incorporated retirement related benefits as part of our salary. We have been transparent with the structure from the time of offer and at each stage of discussion on this subject with every employee. As a part of continuous compensation review process we review our salary structure and benefits every year and try to incorporate suggestions received from employees and good market practices to make our compensation more competitive. We would encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns.

Pros

free juices, brewed tea - chai point machine

Cons

they force employees to opt for super annuation. force employees to opt for expensive health insurance and show it as part of CTC. if you remove these elements from CTC, net take home is lower than market...top management has ensured their pay packets are well inflated to accomodate for this, while mddle and junior level staff sweat it out. India being managed by Manila management - who lack depth and appreciation for Local Indian practices. Transition team has mapped processes different to market practice. result has been continous attrition....most people hired through walk in interviews resulting in poor quality of employees getting hired/candidates without jobs who don't get placed anywhere join CITCO Mumbai. no career path for good employees in sight /even considered by top management. in contrast, huge amount of money spent on flying down senior management from overseas despite there being a Local CEO. they call themselves a fund services setup, but day to day to experience is that of a data processing centre
