Pros

I cannot think of anything positive about this employer. They have treated me with utmost disrespect and I felt myself and my skills losing a lot of its luster during my stay. This company seriously hurt my job prospects by staying there for over two years.

Cons

This company has hands-down worst HR I have ever seen. I would go so far as to say that they did not care for us working outside of the US, they did not understand European labor laws and would try to swindle us by making us perform work in illegal conditions and hours. Management did not support us or our work, and even for the deployment of simple technologies, it would take up to a year to get things done. On top of this, I got sworn at by other employees for only doing my job, and the knowledge I had on how technologies work, was never taken to heed, even when these recommendations were the best practices from the leading software vendors.

IT Guy, I'm sorry your experience of Citco was not a positive one. Because of the nature of our work, our IT environment is, by necessity, bound by very strict privacy guidelines and robust internal due diligence making it complex and challenging. Citco has a large EU presence across multiple EU countries and takes the regionalised labour legislation very seriously indeed. You refer to US HR not understanding the EU labour laws, this may be the case, but we have a very strong and dedicated HR function operating across Europe with necessary legislative expertise. I wonder did you raise your concerns with local HR so that they might be alerted to practices that did not conform with local legislation? Your feedback is noted. Thank-you. I will certainly review current practice within France to ensure that Citco practices are aligned with best practice in France.

Little to no room for development or career progression within the company after 3 years, weak leadership, lacks a clear strategic vision for both the short and long term future
