Pros

Free beer. Some good colleagues. Free bar at nights out.

Cons

Where do I start... Underpaid, overworked, horrible environment to work in, disgusting culture and work ethic. Idiotic from the top down. The lazier and stupider you are, the better chance you have of promotion. I would well advise everyone to stay well clear of this poorly managed organisations. Overheads are being cut by the second and jobs are going to Manilla to cut costs. At the end of the day they couldn't give a toss about the people, only the profit. Horrible place which is faltering by the second. For career progression move on or don't join here!

Dear reviewer, this comment is surprising and disappointing. Citco invests very heavily on training and development and the principle of meritocracy is the foundation of career progression in Citco. Citco recognises that our industry is one where there are times that require overtime. We try to balance this with policies and practices that promote and support health and wellbeing. As well as creating a social environment. It’s important that our hardworking teams get to enjoy some downtime together.

Pros

Possibility after several years experience to move internally to a new area, as long as your line manager agrees and you have never made a single mistake in your existing role. Annual summer and Xmas parties. Modernised office with fussball and pool tables, free beer/soft drinks/cereals.

Cons

Some horrendous middle management in Dublin office, often extremely difficult to deal with, who avoid communicating with lower staff grades at all costs (unless it is to criticise them). Most senior account managers are only interested in their own promotion and delight in telling staff every yearend that no pay raise or bonuses can be awarded. Often highly stressful monthends due to workload and lack of support of colleagues (they are too stretched to help). No in-house restaurant facility (just a seating area and microwaves/fridges), despite staff size.

Dear reviewer, I am compelled to respond to this review and to point out categorically that no one from HR has ever posted a "false review" on this site. The HR team are employees too and have their own experience of working at Citco. If a member of HR has posted, it is to express their own opinion under the same anonymity that you have preferred. With regard to your wider feedback, I note specifically your recommendation to conduct peer reviews. This is an interesting concept that could provide a very meaningful feedback and learning mechanism. It is certainly a recommendation to which we can give consideration.

Pros

You get paid. Some extra benefits to soften the unpaid overtime. Don’t rely on the bonus it’s tiny if any.

Cons

Horrible environment. Boys club management. Totally under resourced so expect to work more than reasonable. Talk of caring about staff is not true. Better than some similar companies but still bad.
