Weird company and culture

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

The working environment is relaxed. Free beer.

Cons

People are lazy, clueless about a lot of things but know how to hide it. Poor performing people generally move up in the company. Reporting lines are deliberately kept unclear so that they can be protected from accountability. Career opportunities are limited. Strategy of the company is not shared with the workforce. Technology used is poor and outdated.

Old fashioned approach to working – lack of flexibility

Pros

- Good people (mostly) - Friendly working environment - Varied work which kept things interesting

Cons

The firm is old fashioned and, in contrast to many other companies, has not moved to a more flexible approach. In particular: -Being present in the office is really important - working from home/remotely is not embraced despite technology allowing this. -Flexible working (e.g. part time or compacted weeks) is not embraced. As such, Citco is not suitable for those wanting flexibility for e.g. study, parenting or other reasons). I left due Citco’s lack of flexibility. While they have been trying to change this (via a new HR policy) this is not supported by all of Managers in the London office.

Pros

Some nice ppl working there, holiday entitlement decent , free juices and fruit, onsite parking , staff discounts

Cons

Management and hr haven't a clue what they are doing , no confidentially exists in the place as ppl are related to mgrs and get info on Others , too many jobs for relatives or friends who aren't up to the task and as a result this affects teams morale , layoffs occurring more and more regular , a lot of tension and poor morale in office
