Reviews about "work environment"
Return to all Reviews- 5.0Dec 24, 2016ConsultantCurrent Contractor, more than 3 years
Pros
excellent environment to get the feel of business and the way all the divisions of a bank work together
Cons
Need to mitigate office politics
- 1.0Jul 11, 2022Asset AnalystFormer Employee, more than 1 yearTampa, FL
Pros
It was a job that I used to fund my education and I moved on and never worked for anyone again.
Cons
It was the worst environment and culture ever... and I worked at Wells Fargo. I would either cry or scream my entire ride home from work. I have never had that from a job before... and thankfully never again.

Pros
Nothing good about these working conditions
Cons
Long hours 19 hours a day Poor and rude management No training Job description is very difficult to the interview process No introductions to new staff members of made feel welcome Below par salary for graduates Location is a nightmare to get to and no parking unless picked in lottery system Overall toxic work environment that will make you evaluate the industry you are in and will not take responsibility for this

Pros
Great opportunity to work in a global, large scale and impactful bank. Lots of smart, driven people and enterprise level systems.
Cons
Work life balance was a challenge to manage due to the amount of work and demanding production environment. Very top down environment where decisions made did not always seem to 'make sense' for the business units.
- 3.0May 29, 2015Vice PresidentFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsKansas City, MO
Pros
The company has great benefits, fitness center. Some locations have a daycare service. The company has gone to a more at home work environment which is a great advantage to families.
Cons
Although the company uses a targeted selection process in their hiring practices. It is very difficult to move up in the company individuals are hand picked for positions. The amount of work assigned is not compensated appropriately.

Pros
There are some delightful people working there. Some good talent.
Cons
Some leadership demonstrates very unprofessional behavior and nothing done about it even when revealed to senior leadership. Very challenging work environment if you are one who likes to work and get things done.

Pros
The Cafeteria has friendly employees.
Cons
Where to start. I was lied to in my interview about training and work schedule. I was promised training in my job function, never received any. I was assigned work right away with no information on how to do it and publicly shamed in front of my team when it was incorrect. Interview advised that employees are off before 7pm. Left before 7pm perhaps once a month, constantly worked weekends. 200 analysts in a room without windows, no natural light at all. It was like working underground for 10-12 hours at a time. Supervisors often do not know how to do the work themselves, they just sit back and criticize while their employees drown. The unprofessionalism in interpersonal communication really took me back. I have worked in other financial institutions and never had a supervisor cuss at me like a child before working here. Citi needs to look into this location. It's a very depressing environment to work in and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Pros
Clear policies and systems in place since its a global bank. Good managers and teammates.
Cons
Stressful work environment depending on the team you'll join especially if there's lots of new migrated accounts.

Pros
Fun work space with plenty of opportunities for professional growth . several activities around the year for learning latest technologies which leads to work in an environment stress free
Cons
condescending manager who micromanages constantly
- 3.0Jun 17, 2015Assistant Vice-PresidentFormer EmployeeMakati City
Pros
The other benefits are better than most other foreign banks. The work environment is pleasant and you get support for most of the projects you undertake.
Cons
Work hours can be demanding normally working more than 11 hours a day. When an employee leaves the company normally opts to assign the responsibilities abandoned instead of adding the headcount. This sometimes leaves some units overstretched in terms of workload.
