Business Outlook
Pros
- Good place for fresh graduates to start their career
- Many times, the importance of foundation has been underestimated. Citco provides good knowledge to get started into the investment accounting world, especially if you have plans to move towards client's reporting side.
- Not sure about now, but during my tenure, the HR constantly seek ways to improve the welfare of the employees
Cons
- due to the niche industry, it is quite difficult to move out of fund administration industry. if you have no interests in it, my advice is to move out quickly!
- be prepared to stay really late during month end!

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We agree that working with Citco gives our teams great industry exposure and provides a really good platform to learn about all aspects of our industry. You mentioned promotion and I appreciate you have since left us, but this has been an area of focus for us recently; resulting in a process that makes it easier for employees to move within Citco. We made this change as a direct result of employee feedback and to your point, we will continue to look for feedback to continue to improve. We do recognise that, due to the nature of our business, the hours are sometimes longer than we would like, particularly at month end, and we do try to balance this with practices that support employee well-being and work life balance. Wishing you all the best and thank you again for taking the time to share your experiences with us.
Thank you for the 5 star review,
It is great see you experiencing our work culture and the camaraderie you have with your colleagues.
We would also encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns.
Thank you for sharing comments and for the 5 star review!
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.
