Out of all the companies I’ve worked for, Citi is not the worse. It’s not the best either. In a scale of 1-10, I’d give Citi a solid 6. On faith in management, I’d give them a 4, which is easy to understand. The emails from management vs. the town halls vs. reality do not match.
Its a mix of “This is where we are going to spend our money, this is the direction we are going” and the person in charge of “that” direction, goes to another role at Citi or quits outright. Then later emails expressing 2 steps forward, 5 steps back, 1 step to the left, 2 forward, halt all movement. Let’s meet over this because we are not sure. Rinse repeat rinse, repeat.
Then there was so much money and so much effort spent over aggressively enforcing DEI, whether it was the “right hire” or not, all the while other companies saw the folly of it and placed it by the wayside, Citi trudged forward.
Just not a whole lot of faith in management across the board. Especially since the core sentiment is that Jane is breaking apart the company and selling it off. Most believe we are trimming down the company so it can be affordable to sell off outright to another Bank.
