Overall worst job I've ever had

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy place to get a job

Cons

Underpaid compares to market, Associates get paid $35K more per year but do the same amount of work/same difficulty of work. Too much focus on diversity, people do not get promoted for the right reasons. NY teams look down on you, management is hit or miss. Retention is terrible, so much that you have to work excessive hours to make up for lack of staff.

Citi may steal your bonus

Senior vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is good. Pressure of work moderate. Exceptionally considerate CEO

Cons

1. Citi may not pay the promised bonus after 1st year, irrespective of good work. If you have a manipulative manager he/she can pull down your performance rating so low that your yearly bonus becomes ZERO. You may raise objection with HR but very difficult to fight against the rubber-stamp senior manager culture. 2. Deplorably incompetent managers and senior managers. 3. Technology is so poor, that even CEO loses job primarily due to poor technology. Mismanaged data tables (for example without or with misused partition keys) makes the systems slow and inefficient, and technology leaders do not care. 4. Federal holidays are deducted from carried over earned vacation hours! 5. 401k match is added to your retirement fund after March in the following year! (Not sure if this is compliant) 6. Culture of wasteful meetings, and that too with unnecessarily large number of global participants.
