Know your politics game

Pros

Good view from the office, nice spacious pantry with nespresso machines, clean toilets and convenient location with lots of good food, some nice helpful colleagues

Cons

Local management runs the company like a authoritarian regime which creates a toxic hostile environment where one has to watch what you say, do and even how you word your emails lol. Even if you lie low and try to do the right things, you may still get false accusations attached to your name for the most absurd non-work related things. Middle and top management too preoccupied with their politics and power grabbing games to bother with learning and development opportunities for younger staff. Probably only a good place if you’re able to follow orders like a dog or senior enough to play games to retire there. Don’t bother if you’re young and looking for a place to grow. You’ll get enmeshed into the politics and won’t be able to play on the same level however good you are. Evaluation is rubbish and unfair as well. If it is known that you’re leaving, you’ll get marked down because “it doesn’t make sense to get good rating if you’re leaving”. Lol. Also, unlike some other banks, there’s practically little to no support from head office.

Unmotivating Culture

Pros

Colleagues are the only motivators, as they share workload and burdens and still care for you on personal terms.

Cons

Management (or like some say the CEO) made decisions that do not go with the norm of the industry, and trying to segregate the people where one group is her babies, and others as the i-dont-care-about-you group. Even if you do make decision, at least have the courtesy to pass down the clear message from top to down, so we know why we are working towards a different direction. But too bad, some of the Head of Departments do not even know why themselves either, not even to say the employees at the lowest chain of all. All the changes made has invoked alot of mistrust, unnecessary work stress, messy procedures around the company. Everyone trying their best to pick up and clear up the mess, but it just keep rolling and never-ending. It is indeed no longer a positive vibe to work in CIC as compare to previous years under a French CEO. People are also working late into the night in different departments.
