Pros

Pay is average. It's very rare but if you have a good manager, your life will be much better. They do attempt to prepare activities but most employees don't participate because they have a lot of work.

Cons

So many cons about this place but let me make it short. Let's start from the micro-managers. The so called VP are actually associates in other firms because majority of them don't have the right skills to be in that position. Some act like dictator, some act like they work for burger king and some have no clue what it means to manage. Most are promoted because they became friends with the big boss. As a result, complaining to the big boss is pointless. Reaching out to HR for improvement or complaint about your manager, good luck because they take the managers side at all times. Every month since February, we have had two people resigned due to the poor treatment from mangers. It has become toxic environment because of few incompetent managers. Challenging the status quo or innovative ideas, please save it to another firm because no one is willing to listen. Technology is still behind, I don't believe they want to invest in it.

It’s disappointing to read this review but I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. This is not the Citco I recognize and indeed goes completely against our values. We invest heavily in training, learning and development at all levels, both technical and soft skills training to ensure we equip our managers with the necessary skills to successfully manage a team. Thank you for your feedback. We would also encourage you to explore more internal communication channels available to you to address your specific concerns.

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.
