Pros
The Good; I work with some great co-workers/colleagues The office was refurbished within the last 2 years and is a perfect location for making long daily commutes Cereal, fruit, soft drinks and beers are provided Free travel card for more junior staff and a car allowance for senior managers
Cons
The Bad; No Wi-Fi, numerous websites blocked, inclusive of Glassdoor.! The family atmosphere is no more, it's quite sad to see the way things have gone over the last 2 years especially considering it's a family run business. The CFO is the driver of the new model, it all comes down to numbers at the end of the day, there is no negotiations or family face to the business anymore. Shared Service Centres - it was mentioned before on Glassdoor about the "Thrilla in Manila" and that review proved to be true. A lot of work is being migrated to Vilnius and watch this space, India is currently in the works. Senior Management cannot make big decisions, if you want X or Y, it has to be approved by the EC. The responsibility has been taken away from local MD's. Overtime at month end can be quite bad however this is in other organisations too. If you fancy working 24 - 26 hour days straight, join Private Equity - this is just accepted and swept under the carpet. Salary - increments to junior staff are appalling, budgets to allocate teams were embarrassing. If you have 10+ years in Citco you're in a good place with your salary, so sit tight when it's been decided you're no longer needed, you'll walk away with nice cheque. The Ugly; It's only going to get worse.
