Pros

There can hardly be any pros at this company

Cons

This company is all talks and no action. I have been at Citi since the last 3 years and moved into the current role a year back. The management is not supportive of the female employees and they don't really care about the career progression and we are often pushed into roles that doesn't really add any value in the long term. With the restructure in place , I was asked to move into a new role without having given any prior notice. I did explain that it doesn't really help with my career goals and my manager was not really ready to reason things out. It doesn't just come down to the career progression , but the overall culture in citi is horrendous. There has been multiple instances I have raised workplace concern to my management and all just fell into deaf ears. The workplace concerns included being subjected to sexist, racists remarks, bullied by peers in meetings. I have been specifically asked not to go to HR and just raise things with management instead while no action is ever taken. People are highly disrespectful in meetings and use name callings , racist remarks etc and worst part this is encouraged by the management. This has really impacted my mental health and it is sad that a company who aims to put so much into DEI and women empowerment are actually letting their employees suffer in silence.

Pros

In theory this place should be good to work at, lots of options to go places and develop… but see the cons

Cons

Despite the tone from the top which is incredibly superficial, there is neither a heart here nor an ethical approach to rewarding and developing people. I’ve seen a senior leader in the org literally focus on those people who can flutter their eyelids in his direction vs their capability. If you don’t fit the bill, then you are out / bullied etc until you leave. The incompetence of those people who are placed into roles shines through, but they spend the majority of their time blaming others for their own failures. Navigate the office politics carefully as it’s too easy to end up in a role you love but hate who you are working with that they make you leave. Ultimately the busy industrious people get dumped on for others to take the glory. Seagull management.

Pros

Looks great on your CV, if you can stick it out! Academies are good for a first job for graduates, very 'hand held', lengthy training

Cons

Awful political infighting that is impossible to ignore. Its very much a 'wait it out' culture, don't work too hard, it won't make a difference at end of year and will only frustrate you! This is especially evident within academies where everyone moves up at the same level, regardless of contribution. Due to the 'wait it out' culture, management and team leaders aren't the most suited to their positions. It always appeared to me that perhaps the decent staff got bored of hard work not being recognised and therefore left the company/moved jobs, meaning that those still there with long tenure were the ones that were content to just bide their time. Salaries aren't competitive. They have gotten better (early 2017) but still not competitive for the Belfast market; Citi seems to have missed the fact that they don't have a monopoly on the legal market in Belfast anymore.
