Citi reviews

Senior Management seem to "manage up" No regard for a job well done You will feel like a cog in a machine Will get rid of people without regard once the going gets tough Poor at resourcing projects Are in love with offshoring

- Talent is fleeing, all former group heads have left to european banks or boutiques - Merger with Corporate Banking => less qualified employees - Huge amount of red tape - No events, little team spirit - Good name in 2006-2007, terrible name now - Low morale of employees (most people would leave if offered equal job at another firm) - No room for growth if you're good. You gotta pay your dues and do the time like everybody else - Impersonal company, corporate culture = zero - In order to compete with other top i-banks, Citi has matched their bonus levels. However, it has awarded these top bonuses to a lot less people proportionally, pushing most of the good analysts to lower buckets to reduce bonus costs.
