Citi has very high standards, at least on paper: Genius Star OK S**t Everyone in the comments below are saying that unless you are doing something exceptional you should be 3, and if you do just a slight mistake - 4. What I do not... — read more 

Been with Citi for only 12 months. Given that a 4 is bad. Is 3/4 considered the same? Although 3 is how and 4 is what. It still doesn't seem good. What does a 3/4 eating really mean? And what's your stance on whether those ratings will be apart... — read more

It's amazing how she answered the questions without providing an actual answer to what was asked. She essentially dodged all questions. Would have been better to not do it. Anyone else more confused after the AMA?

Vendor Consultants doesn’t seem worried about layoffs. They don’t have to show up in office and get good medical benefits

What are your thoughts seeing a bunch of "Seniors" trying to be funny and having a laugh during Whitakers Town Hall while they planning thousands job cuts the same time ?

That's what it feels like. How are we supposed to focus on work in these circumstances? It's just a never-ending restructuring with never-ending cuts. And I can guarantee you, even after they say it's over, it will be only a few months before they... — read more

If an MD has been offline for two weeks with no OOO on, is it safe to assume they are gone? Within Risk.
