Pros

Free drinks, juice and lunch, travel allowance, health insurance discount. Some people are nice.

Cons

Job description does not match job. Long hours, no life-work balance. Opportunities can be hard to come by and very hierarchal and poor performing people generally move up. No new hires trainings or up to date trainings session provided. Lot of tension and poor morale in office. People are lazy, unexperienced about a lot of things but know how to hide it. Strategy of the company is not shared. No clear guidelines, procedures and management does not listen at their employees, they change idea every day which cause confusion in departments. Bad management, not supportive, disconnected to the lower levels. Technology used is poor and outdated. No flexibility. No work from home option.

Dear reviewer, it is disappointing to learn that your experience with Citco has not been wholly positive and appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback. As you know employee feedback is important to us and there are ongoing efforts to continually learn and improve. A number of initiatives are already in place or in plan, to address some of the areas that you highlighted for improvement, including a more robust on-boarding experience for new hires in Amsterdam and a more transparent and structured approach to how we promote our staff globally. Keep an eye out for internal communications updating employees on key initiatives and I encourage you join an engagement committee focus group and become part of the team working to make Citco Amsterdam a great place to work.

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.
