Pros

Nobody is watching your output or efforts and non-serious actors can also opt for disabililty to get approved for remote work upto 6 months and never face termination or layoff. Especially true about the data area in Finance.

Cons

Nobody provides direction, least of all the directors and managing directors hired externally since 2022, they are clueless and there is not much direction or guidance from the top of the house, either. They are hoping to wing their way out of the consent orders and regulatory actions with friendly overtures to the new administration and their new appointees at the banking regulatory agencies.

Long work hours Small to zero bonus, hence no incentives Lack of career growth opportunities Lack of management understanding of issues’ root cause and therefore addressing them Too bureaucratic and the “transformation” team keeps growing, whose job is to boss people around but get no real work done

Business Outlook

Pros

High level of timing flexibility.

Cons

A disaster in the name of re-org. The org doesn’t care for its employees. It only cares about its reputation and making money. A disaster in the name of simplification. Everything is complicated especially their loosely held, ill planned and unstable processes. No one knows what they are doing, but everyone is trying to keep each other busy by increasing unnecessary tasks. There is no work life balance. One employee does the work equivalent to 3 employees and that’s how Citi manages its budgets.
