Pros

- the work is so hard that you actually learn valuable skills and stress management if you're lucky

Cons

- everyone sucks up to the management and is fake - they lie and overwork you so basically if you show you finish work on time, they load you up with more and more work - not a nice culture at all - very stressful environment to work in - no career opportunity

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. As part of our onboarding of new employees we are working hard to ensure that employees are provided with as much training as possible to ensure they have the information, tools and resources they need to do their job successfully. We encourage our managers to meet with employees on a monthly basis and provide success coaching to ensure that employees have an opportunity to express any concerns or feedback they may have. Citco is committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees so I am disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We are always looking at how we can improve so thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Pros

Casual dress, location, a lot of freedom as long as work gets done, good starting point in learning about the industry

Cons

Your experience really depends on who your manager/team/clients are. Unfortunately, this is a thumbs down for me. Long hours, expected to drop everything to meet deadlines, making it hard to plan anything. If you do well, you're given more work with little/no raise or bonus. Pay is low, turnover is high, morale is low. Not a good place to work if you have a family. They're working on a pilot flex program but there's other places that already have this and pay more.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. The client focused nature of our business does sometimes lead to longer working hours than we would otherwise like. We do try to balance this with practices that support employees and as you mentioned, we are working on a pilot flex programme as a direct result of the feedback we heard through our engagement survey. It is great to hear you were able to learn a lot about the industry during your time with us. This is often mentioned as a benefit of working with us. We see all feedback as an opportunity to continue to improve so thank you for sharing this with us and wishing you all the best!

Pros

Free monthly breakfast and cake and ice cream. Good pension match

Cons

No work life balance, 3 + 5 sick days for the year. They don't care if you're too ill to come in they give you hell and gossip behind your back (that is the managers), it doesn't even matter if you've been a good employee. Pregnant women get discriminated against to the max. Women should be weary of seeking employment at Citco, women who want to start a family.

Thank you for your feedback. It is concerning to read your comments regarding women and that they should be weary of seeking employment at Citco. We are proud to advocate equal opportunities for all. We would like to encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns.
