Citi reviews

Open Space in Tampa. The people in NY are tone-deaf when it comes to the working conditions in Tampa. First, the open space concept is not conducive to productivity. The NY'ers say it's for collaboration, but we're all remote anyway in Tampa. The cafeteria was condemned for rats twice so they had to rebuild it. During the construction, they decided to get food trucks which had long lines and unhealthy foods. They ordered everyone back to work while the cafeteria and gym are under construction. There's no coffee available. The traffic on the Tampa campus is unbelievable. Yet, the NY'ers still want everyone in the office. Also, people who are in Tampa will not get the same work assignments or promotions as New York. It's because the NY'ers are afraid of losing their jobs so they keep job security by hoarding a lot of projects and promoting people differently. I don't think it's malicous...but more of a subconscious thing. The benefits are terrible and expensive. There's no IT help or office supplies. It's pretty bad. I would say work at Citi for a few years and then escape.

- The Culture: Working your employees to death is a part of the job. It’s an unwritten IA rule that every employee must be miserable and have no Work/Life balance. Everybody that works in IA hates their job, no exceptions - The Job Itself: It’s terribly uninteresting. All the workload of Public, yet x100 more boring. You’ll fall asleep reading endless DEA’s and completing Workflow Process’s till your heart dies on you at the ripe age of 27 - Management: must just be two kids in a trench coach because none of the decisions from management ever make sense. Employees want a WFH option? Force em back to the office. Our systems are outdated and barely functional? Let’s get a new system that has 0 integration with the old one and barely operates on its own. Record profits at Citi and our employees are underpaid and overworked? Time for a stock buy-back! It’s hilarious how out of touch management is with their employees - Technology: As mentioned above, it’s genuinely funny how outdated Citi’s tech and systems are. Business’s are struggling to get by with their decades old software and management could not care less. Also enjoy waiting 2 months to get access to software that’s vital to your job - Communication: Non-existent. Everything here is last second, ill thought out, and rushed
