Citi reviews

• Mind-numbing, uninteresting work • Work-life balance can be awful, with long hours and meetings at odd times of night • TONS of internal propaganda • Outdated tech stacks (super old RHEL, Python, Java, etc) • Very difficult to incorporate tech stack updates • Very bad developer environment, typically in resource-starved Windows VDIs or Linux VMs with low-level permissions (have to submit a formal request and wait several days just to get a five year old release of Eclipse) • Never-ending management changes, middle management layoffs, strategy and vision changes, and unclear or extremely superficial goals such as "be the best" • Job is largely integrating and configuring purchased products • Agonizingly slow CI/CD pipeline • Enormous process overhead; tons of engineering/development time lost to process requirements • Engineering is not a priority • You work for a soul-sucking, unethical, exploitative, and bloated financial institution

Commission is very difficult to make. Very Bad training, while the teachers were great. Not enough time went to training when it came to operations. Upper management seems to care only about numbers and not its people. I work in Manhattan, and while my manager is great and the area director is great, management above that only care for numbers. The job description can "change". Now we have to telemarketer all the time calling clients and trying to get them to come to the branch. If there is no sale opportunity with a client and its just a servicing the expectation is to get them out as soon as possible.
