Pros

Career Opportunities - Large firm so you can move internally (if they ever let you) Compensation & Benefits - Good benefit package Work Life Balance - It exists..on some days Senior Management - N/A Culture & Values - Everyone gels well together on most teams, people are willing to help each other. Also, the weekly goodbye parties are always fun!

Cons

Career Opportunities - Moving from one team to another will get you experiences...but you can't escape the toxicity that is in Citco. You know there is a serious problem when their top competitor is able to easily poach large amount of employees over a short span of time. Compensation & Benefits - Below average salary (but HR insists that what they are offering is "competitive" due to "total package"(i.e. benefits + salary)) Work Life Balance - Overtime can get extremely overwhelming and is expected as part of your evaluation criteria. If you refuse to do it, they will refuse your bonus/promotion/raise etc. Paid sick days have been reduced from 10 to 3 and they claim it is "industry average". Senior Management - Too many chiefs not enough Indians - extremely disorganized when there are conflicting point of views. Little to no action done on feedback received from NUMEROUS surveys they have solicited. Culture & Values - Extremely low morale, and incredibly high turnover rate across the firm - every week there are people leaving regardless of having another job lined up or not.

Dear former employee, The leadership of Citco takes employee feedback seriously (both from former and current employees). As a matter of fact, we have recently completed our first global employee engagement survey in a number of years. At the moment, we are currently reviewing the feedback with a standpoint of enhancing the things that Citco does well, and addressing areas that will enable our employees to be fully engaged and fulfilled. It's unfortunate that Citco wasn't a good fit for you and I wish you success on your future endeavours. Thank you for your review.

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.
