Pros

Rapidly growing; international affiliates; good work-life balance for finance; a lot of employees have been there for 12-15 years; super relaxed corporate culture; interesting relationship with major banks-->lots of flow between Citco/JPM, Citco/BAML, Citco/GS (aka exit ops possible?); several senior/global mgmt. absolute characters/ridiculous, although not sure if that's a +

Cons

Too relaxed? I felt many divisions not held accountable; work can be monotonous; questionable room for advancement-->one conversation: "So when are you getting an office?" "Me? I hit my glass ceiling. Now I just chill."

Pros

Worked downtown. Projects kept flowing in so work was consistent.

Cons

There was no formal training and everyone IM's each other even when they are sitting next to each other. Not a very "friendly" work environment, but people are polite.

Pros

The office environment was great. People are very friendly, good work life balance, and the IFSC (International Financial Services Center) is a joy to work in Equipment was new, management seemed responsive to employee needs Citco bought big things of various beers for Friday's Excellent office parties, forgiving HR environment as one of my fellow interns got smashed on RedBull vodkas and had to be carted home in a cab and didn't face any repercussions. Everyone had a laugh about it on Monday

Cons

Terribly overworked middle management. The immediate supervisors of each section were, almost to a man, stressed out chain smoking over caffeinated etc and worked much longer hours than the rest of the staff. Most of the workplace seemed young (not necessarily a bad thing, but an overtone of "I'm just out of uni" Awfully crowded emails. It's like people think they can just hit reply all to everything and productive conversation quickly would get buried
