Fails in All Areas: DO NOT WORK HERE

Anonymous employee

Pros

You can network with other people at other companies because of the location

Cons

- Long hours just to show you are there, no actual work being done. - Management is horrible with flexibility - New employees are treated very very very differently than old ones. The clash is apparent as seniors toss all their work to juniors and then go relax the rest of the day. Management doesn't see this or even if they do, they don't care - Horrible work/life balance - Policies are in place just for show, flex hours are never approved by your manager, vacations aren't approved, etc. - Low Pay

Thank you for your review. I was disappointed to read some of your comments regarding your employment at Citco. This is not the Citco I recognize. I encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns. At Citco we are always open to hearing suggestions for improvement. Again, we really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It is great to hear that you are happy with the learning opportunities at Citco. We do invest significantly in training and development of our employees. We understand that the client-focused nature of our business does sometimes lead to longer working hours than we would otherwise like. We have been transparent in communicating on this subject with our employees and we hope to be supportive of your work and personal commitments, and your health and wellbeing. We are currently in the transition phase with rapid expansion plans, we understand our employees are putting in additional efforts at this point in time. We expect the work to be streamlined as we reach a steady state. We see all feedback as an opportunity to improve. We also have an open work environment and there are multiple communication channels available to employees to voice their views and suggestions. We encourage you to use the various available internal communication mediums for any of your specific concerns. Thanks for your review and continued contribution.

Pros

Free beer after 5pm Monthly catered breakfast Good location Good benefits for starters

Cons

Poor management Extremely hard to move around the company if you want to grow Long hours Hardly any recognition for pulling extra hours/work to ensure deadlines are met Extremely toxic environment - everyone tries to put the blame on someone else High turnover rate. I've been here for 1.5 years and I've seen 6 come and go after a 1-3 months.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. While it is great to hear you mention positives around the benefits and office, it is very disappointing to read this review as this is not the Citco that I recognise. We have recently launched a process to make it easier for employees to move within the organisation, as a direct result of feedback we received through our engagement survey. We do recognise that due the client focussed nature of our business the hours are sometimes longer than we would like so we are working hard to facilitate flexibility where possible to promote and support a healthy worklife balance. We have recently launched a programme to promote flexible work arrangements for employees. Again, this was a result of the feedback received from employees so I do thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and we will continue to take all feedback on board to develop. Wishing you all the best!
