Thank you for the feedback. It is disappointing to read your comments. We have actually continuously been in migrations and have doubled our headcount in the last one year. As we are currently in the transition phase, we understand our employees are putting in additional efforts at this point in time. We expect the work to stabilize as we reach a steady state. The work hours have also seem to increase due to network and power outage issues in current work from home situation. Please be aware, Management is actively looking at the workload, working hours and resources to bring more balance to that ratio. We will continue to review and assess how Citco can provide and support a positive work / life balance for all our employees while also balancing the needs of our clients. We see all feedback as an opportunity to improve. We would also encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns.

Pros

My colleagues/peers are great and so supportive it’s a real team effort to keep our heads above water

Cons

Management do not listen - pile on the work even though the work load is not manageable. Not doing overtime is frowned upon No recognition and no reward for hard work which is soul destroying especially during the pandemic No contribution made to working from home expenses Employees expected to use their own personal mobile phones for work with no contribution made to their wear and tear Work calls have to be paid by the employee and expended back in an arduous procedure Used to be a great place to work but it’s like the company is being run on a shoe string now - scrimping and saving No cover in the department for those on maternity leave Communication is poor from management

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It’s great to hear you enjoy working with your colleagues. We are aware of the overtime in some groups, and have been working with our management team to ensure there is a healthy work/life balance. It is important that people feel that they are rewarded fairly for what they do. We regularly benchmark to ensure that we remain competitive within our industry and regions. It’s disappointing to read this review but I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback so we can understand more about your time with us.

Pros

- Valuable exposure to a huge array of listed & OTC financial instruments dealt by hedge funds & private equity - Unique accounting system - Exposure to corporate lifestyle - Helpful seniors / colleagues

Cons

- Lack of top-down communication - While some managers committed and pushed through with conducting of periodic review with new employees despite the Circuit breaker, other managers failed to do so, hence reflecting a lack of growth support & care for employees - Periodic review is capped according to number of years with company, despite performance. - Accounting System inefficiencies are present from time to time
