Know what you’re getting into - Human Resources Specialist Citi Employee Review

Long hours culture - no matter what they say about work life balance, there is none. Long hours are simply expected. Plus you’ll have at least enough work for 2 very high performing employees to do, plus they’ll keep adding to your responsibilities, so working long hours is the only way to even try and survive it. That sadly has the result of reducing the overall value of your package. But they pay enough that looking to move to another NI based company realistically means taking a bit of a pay cut. So people get trapped on the eternal Citi hamster wheel.
