Thanks for your comments and taking the time to write. The ‘Citco experience’ is something people talk about a lot, and it’s something that lasts a lifetime. It’s great to see you talk about the level of exposure employees get in their work, and the positive environment. We’re proud of the fact we offer varied and interesting work for people, and that we’re an ACCA Platinum Employer for Trainee Development with over 100 internal training courses. That said, we’re working hard to continually enhance our L&D offering and internal mobility to promote cross training and career opportunities.

Pros

- Easier way to join the financial industry - Salary is not bad for fresh grad - Operations Analysts and Fund Accountants get OT pay, but not for supervisors and above - Chill and friendly colleagues, lots of fresh grads - Provides sponsorship for CFA / CPA but with bond. CPA Australia recognised employer - Foosball tables, dart board and pool table in pantry - Don't have to bring work home. But that also means you will have to complete everything in office

Cons

- Bad work life balance. Very few ops teams are on 9 to 6 shift. There are 9 to 6, 10 to 7, 11 to 8, 1 to 10 and 3pm to 12mn shifts. - Little or no bonus - Workload dependent on capability, the better you are, the more work you get - Communication not transparent - Promotion based more on senority - Newly implemented pay increment scheme applies only to newly joined employees. Unfair to existing employees - Chance of no annual increment, even if you worked for the full year.

We recognise that our industry is one where there are times that require overtime. We try to balance this with policies and practices that promote and support health and wellbeing.
