Citi reviews

Workload - relentless Training - things change so quickly, by the time you have completed a record, its wrong and managers, certainly mine, loves to make you feel a failure because you werent aware that a process changed due to the small print in an email amongst hundreds daily Managers - there is one decent VP. Theres micromanagement to the extent l think its designed for a high turnover of staff....along with the lack of just decency. Hours - management were 1st out the door when we were in the office, "but you’ll not be long when they fix that issue .... at 9pm" and with that they were off to their train. As previously mentioned, you may think your on a good salary, but divide your pay by your actual working week of around 50 hours a week, and its pretty rubbish. No overtime paid. When you go on holiday you hand your cases to a colleague who wont get a chance to look at them so will be waiting for you on your return. Promotions - forget it unless your sucking up to your line manager or have "served your time" that or theyre waiting for you to leave.

The biggest con here is salary and benefits. Historically Citi would have been good, but in recent times there's been a lot of new tech entrants to Belfast and it's meant that Citi have fallen far, far behind the competition. There has been a huge exodus of senior talented people in the last year because of this and because salaries are so low, there's no way to get these people back. Other negatives - Technology stack is behind other companies, I think this is the same for most teams - Work life balance is poor, you will do far more than your 8 hours a day - There's not a lot of opportunity for progression or moving roles within Citi - No regard for employees during covid (no checkins to check on their well being, no virtual events, etc) just extra work and longer hours
