I am hired into Citi and working in a project for past 2 years. After joining I got a rating 3. since I was new (within 6 months) I accepted the rating. I did lot of work for past 1 year and today I got the rating as 3. I am surprised.
The project is lead by a manager who was hired from "Vendor". Employees reporting to him are also from same "Vendor". I see a clear favoritism and politics here.
I am not sure where and how to complain. The only option for me is to shift project or move out of company. Given the market conditions, I am not sure how I can make it.

About 65% get a 3/3 actually.
What was your other rating? There are 2 numbers. 3/3, 3/2, 2/2 etc
This is standard vendor behaviour in Citi unfortunately.
They aim to:
- Keep giving inflated cost estimates 2. Keep pushing for more vendor resources to be onboarded
- Hoard key knowledge within their org to force vendor lock in
Some converted resources never switch loyalty to Citi and keep doing this.
Others do, and suddenly every task needs far less people, time and budget to complete.
3 is just perfect. 2 is waaay above and beyond and maybe 1% get it. A1 requires MD aporoval and is very rare. But does happen.
Must be the converts from TCS I guess, they are the one behave like this all over Citi. They are also having this opinion among themselves about Citi employees as d-mb, talentless and unknowledgeable, hence these kinds of treatments. That’s one of the reason they flock among themselves a lot and never engage with Citi full time employees and never gives us the opportunity.
3 is a solid rating. 70-80% of employees will get a 3. 3 means valued contributor and you pay could go up.
