Pros

Large company... if that’s even a positive

Cons

Everything. In GCB, people are treated terribly across the board — below market pay (vs. Chase, AmEx, Goldman), next to nothing in employee perks, soulless managers, and HR contacts who ghost you amidst serious issues. I have never been so amazed across the board at how horrible this company treats its people... and our leadership still questions why we feel undervalued. Work here and you will feel disposable, undervalued, and absolutely miserable. ... and this culture really shows in how bad our products are. No one believes in the business or its products. Look at the VOE scores... everyone hates working here and is only counting the days until they can leave for a better (any) competitor or a startup that actually values your humanity. Company is made of soul sucking vultures. Boasting of its “internal mobility” but gives you unsupportive managers and HR recruiters that ignore you endlessly. Boasting of “innovation” but then hiring leadership that completely disbanded Citi FinTech and D10X (internal entrepreneurship program for employees). Boasting of hiring great leaders but the turnover is so ridiculously high that we’re in a constant state of reorg, and the new GCB CEO Anand is unashamedly snarky and dismissive of employee concerns even in town halls. Do not work here. This company is full of burnouts being led by insensitive, soulless leadership. And your voice will never be heard

Pros

Benefits & pay are competitive. Not the top in the industry, but good. Excellent opportunities for professional development for people who are self-starters and motivated to learn.

Cons

Business leaders use all the popular buzzwords and phrasing to assure you the business is leading the industry, but in practice Senior Leadership is hanging on to archaic business strategies like their lives depend on it.
