Pros

Free beer. Free drinks. Free meals for overtime. Free cab rides home for overtime.

Cons

Do you like pressure? Do you like stress? Do you like working long long hours? Do you like not having any work / life balance? Come work at Citco. Do you like management that piles difficult work on you, wants it all done yesterday and then acts baffled if you can't remember 1 out of the 7421 things they told you do recently? Come work at Citco. Do you like looking over rows and rows of cubicles and seeing miserable, exhausted, nerve-shattered and frustrated faces? Come work at Citco.

Dear Colleague - the first quarter of the year is certainly one of our busiest seasons at Citco and we are mindful of the commitment our staff makes through these several months of long hours, tight deadlines and client demands. While it is the nature of many financial services firms, we very much appreciate the hard work and commitment of our staff. Managing the related stress takes stamina and perhaps a well timed vacation day when a rest is needed. If you feel you are reaching the limits of what you can handle, I'd strongly suggest you meet with your manager (or manager's manager) and/or HR to see what support can be provided to help you get through this tough period.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
