Overtime is almost everyday and no balance of life and work. Promotion is based on favorites not performance of the employees.

Hi Former employee, it's great to get this feedback. Citco is really trying to get the balance right between respecting our clients' needs and respecting our employees' needs. Our work environment, culture and benefits go some way to this, but, taking your feedback on board, perhaps not enough. Unfortunately the nature of our industry requires long working hours at certain times of the month/ year. Work /life balance is a difficult thing to get right because everyone's needs are unique. We accept that this is something to which we need to give more focus. Regarding promotions, Citco has a robust meritocracy culture and the process to support that. It's disappointing that you'd think otherwise. I hope that your Citco experience has benefited you in securing a new role. Good luck with your continued career.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
