Pros

* Good Cafeteria - that's it

Cons

* A highly political and toxic environment hinders any career growth * Sudden layoffs and arbitrary logic keep employees stressed out * No laptop given to work from home, bring your own, which is first seen in any big banks * Senior management is insecure to the core; no one shares knowledge or know-how, everyone is scared of layoffs, and daily system outages drain any motivation and ensure longer than usual working hours * Do yourself a favour, apply for any Big 5 banks in Canada, but avoid this one

Pros

- 401k match - HSA Contribution

Cons

-Raw Truth: They don’t care if your kid is sick, you have an appointment, or your car broke down. ​-There is a systemic lack of empathy regarding family obligations and unforeseen life events; management views basic human needs as a lack of commitment rather than a part of life. -Raw Truth: They won't promote people of Indian descent (unless they are tech) and keep leadership "whites only." -The organization lacks a demonstrable commitment to DEI at the leadership level, with visible systemic barriers preventing qualified minority talent from advancing into lead roles. Minorities are the worker bees, management only need show strength of talking louder and more often - that equates to them as being a leader, not being knowledgeable or customer focused. -There is a palpable 'insider culture' that prioritizes a specific demographic for promotion, effectively sidelining experienced Indian-American professionals regardless of performance. Raw Truth: They’re hiring in Argentina to avoid paying US wages and using scripts because they don't speak English. These are their neighbors, FB friends, and cousins mostly. They are struggling and barely around to do the real work as they have more holidays than their US counterparts. -By replacing specialized US auditors with untrained offshore resources reliant on scripts (for every meeting), the firm is incurring significant operational risk and devaluing the integrity of the audit process. -If you say you're overwhelmed, (especially with the work that was left by others they fired, laid off, physically/mentally burnt out to the point of FMLA, or quitting) they give you a bad rating and fire you. -The culture penalizes transparency; raising concerns about unsustainable workloads is met with punitive performance ratings rather than resource support. - Management utilizes the performance review system as a retaliatory tool and "feedback" submissions as a scavenger hunt to find out who said what.

Pros

good pay transport facility office too small all spaces no internet network -on purpose-even in bathroom->so you dont waste time Senior colleagues-suffer the most ,they pick up the calls and work on sick leave on saturdays release support at 7 am or 8 am you are asked to attend a month without any pay At Eon phase,Kharadi-downstairs caffeterias are there

Cons

toxic culture Hike is 5 to 7% max 10 % HRs don't give a damn if resources are managers and important inspite of proofs-strict trainings and all are for normal employees aggressive work culture-they are always super hasty-5 days work in 1 day they want. 1 night I didn't sleep and decided enough was enough late night work-10 to 12 hours people work-not me. Managers and all are super toxic-very insecure and fragile ego Rude in speaking like managers and upper management-some are ,not all are. Citi doesn't care about you -it's a profit and loss mindset company. Other people got laid off in front of my eyes inspite of performing great,It fires whenever it wants.I resigned on my own-I was a java developer for years and they were forcing me to work on python,my profile was java developer .So that's unacceptable. And managers don't respect women-are not mature at all,they behave like children -very insecure ,god knows what power they want over others ,even over women it's beyond my understanding HR of Singapore,India and other places are assigned just for company's profit.I faced it and learnt ,they are emotionless and profit and have loss mindset.They gaslight ,manipulate you using professional jargons..
