Pros

Possibly a stable employer with the right management

Cons

Heavily siloed, fiefdoms abound Mgmt imported from abroad communicating poorly, one way communicators, poor advocates for teams that they supposedly lead Promoting managers who lack communication skills or with severe personality issues, unfit for leading teams anywhere Ineptitude of regional management Rewarding loyal but poor managers, dismissing performant ones Mgmt forced to cause artificial attrition yearly, resorting to underhanded bullying practices, at the cost of employees Lower mgmt receiving cascaded performance reviews on individual staff from high above to meet the bell curve, much like a 90's company Behind the market Gamification, inspired by primary school forced by middle management onto confused staff Promoting a rat race between managers, and likely mobbing practices with non-assetive managers Performant managers forced off board, poor ones kept on Quality performers leaving in droves Mgmt forced to promote poorly skilled staff Senior management reward only their own clique Nearly impossible to get a promotion without being part of the inner circle, insular senior mgmt

Pros

Big Name in banking world Good for workaholics people Challenging workplace Good for people who had already worked in Citi atmosphere.

Cons

There are many, one can think, especially if you are hired at CITI Arena Budapest, GPA project for Reg reporting. The process is messy and confused. Hierarchy issue within people. Managers have a lot of attitude. Superior and junior differences. Lot of people are hired from external vendor company, hence their mindsets remains same of serving the Client. Management pressurize one to overdo and threatens you during the probation period about how they fired people or what are their stricter policies, especially if you are non- Hungarian or expat. No laptops or home setup supported, even they agreed during joining time. Different treatment received if you are non-hungarian and hungarian, in a racist way. Non-English speaking predominates the office environment. New hires receives no welcome from the team or make comfortable with team and management. No feedback or regular meetups between team members. Senior employees feels to be not reachable, with delay response and ignoring. Managers are rude in their communication. No open work meeting sessions or with just few people speaking. Very tensed atmosphere. No regular one to one with management. Also very rigid company policy for travel, no working from another country and working from home (3d from office per week). People in the team gives derogatory comments to behind non-Hungarian people and laughing to be friends with them.
