Citi reviews

Compensation and benefits are low compared with smaller companies I have worked for. Human resources is very unhelpful, and promotions often come with little or no pay increase. A good portion of pay for exempt employees is variable (bonus based), so if the company has had a bad year, you may end up making less than the prior year in any given year. Base salaries are relatively low, and you will often see only a 1 to 3 percent pay increase each year, regardless of a change in job title or addition of new responsibilities.

There is always politics but i have never seen a place that had politics similar to a High School. Not to mention senior management treated everyone below as dumb high school students. I was a top performer for most of my stay there with limited effort. I was always told that performance gets you what you want, however at the end it was more determined on how much ass you can lick by the end of the day. To conclude i don't lick ass so I am in a better place now :-)
