Pros

Colleagues are the saving grace. Happy hour Fridays. Quarterly team outings. Long lunch hours is possible; restricted only by internal Citco SLA.

Cons

Long working hour is a monthly affair. Hard to be promoted as they have a relatively flat organisation with cut- throat and backstabbing colleagues.

The client focused nature of our business does sometimes lead to longer working hours than we would otherwise like.

Thank you for your comments. Ensuring all employees have a good understanding of our industry is a priority for us. We have introduced the CFA accredited Claritas program to provide all employees with the key principles of our industry. Sorry to read your thoughts regarding vacation policy - we have standard vacation policies across all our global locations.

Pros

Open to hiring fresh grads from private universities. Structured beginners training that might not prove so useful on the 'floor' but good for general knowledge. Had cross-over of roles.

Cons

Heaven or hell is based on which department and team you go to, and the funds your team is doing. Worst team to be is under a 'Yes-man". Generally going to SSC side is the shorter end of the stick in terms of workload. Stay if you can climb fast, look for alternatives if otherwise.
