At Citi you are judged by the sacrifices you make. Hobbies, vacations and even family time are viewed as distractions and reasons to penalize. This is the house that Jane built
In healthy cultures people are judged by the commitments they keep. Interests outside of work are seen as passions to celebrate.
Citi is the house of cards, built on sand , and soon to collapse !
But don’t jump ship yet. Wait to be laid off.
add to the equation a55licking team members who are vying to outdo each other to get a 1 or 2 and you have a recipe for a sh1t sandwich- which is what this company is
Citi looks at the market to see what’s out there. They note the pay ranges. Let’s say the average pay range for a specific skill is 90K to 160K depending on experience.
They then post a job with that pay range. So in that, yes, they are offering average market value. The offer though….that’s where the rubber meets the road. The offer given will always be 90K and they will negotiate to 95K, regardless of experience.
The listing, yes, is market value. The offer though, LOL, is never equal to what you’d get elsewhere for the experience you’d bring to the table.
Citi is like a retirement home compared to a normal company. Stop complaining please 😄. Citi employees have never seen hard work - I used to do 9am till 10pm in order to support hedge fund clients in the US.
and the foundation is shifting sand.
