Citi reviews

-Absolute chaos. No processes or procedures, you build them as you go. If there are any, nobody really follows them. -It's a huge international bank so the areas outside North America act almost like a separate bank altogether. This makes it hard if you need something from someone overseas or especially if you're asking them to report metrics or something to you. You are just ignored and treated with consternation because you're viewed almost as working in a completely different company based in New York. Makes for a very uncollaborative environment. -The attitude of the people and the way they treat each other raises an eyebrow. People at Citi are abrasive. Never seen this much bickering and rude comments that colleagues throw at each other. It's like there's no interest in being a team player and people are not afraid to speak their mind and just literally act rude.

There is no training, you are expected to know how to do the job when you start. The managers are hired based on their knowledge, not the ability to coach, train, and build rapport and relationships with their team. It’s easy for favoritism to occur because your manager will likely not even be where you have to report in office 3x a week, so it’s hard to build relationships over zoom. It seems like everything is behind as far as the systems you do your work in. Even though management says to ask them for help, when you have reviews they talk about how this is an independent job and what you think of the level of interaction you had with them is. The annual bonus is very low and there are no other bonuses. If you aren’t rated a certain level for your review you can’t post out, you have to stay in your role for an entire additional year. People come and go like crazy… you’re considered “tenured” if you have been there a year or two.
