Pros

Good place to start after you graduate, good place to gain some experience in order to get a better job. Free beer after 5 (keep in mind how much this worth unless you enjoy drinking 5 bottles everyday) Nice working environment (depends on teams). Dental and health insurance are good, but just similar to other companies.

Cons

Incredible turnover, in the first had year of 2017 almost 100 new people were hired. That means 100 people left! What does that mean? Why? Given the fact, think about it. Repeated work everyday, but what you are doing is actually useless. Inefficient promotion- if you stay 2-3 years as Operations Analyst, you get promoted I promise. No matter how bad you are. They need to do this to keep people. However if you only stay 1 or 1.5 year, no matter how smart or how good you are, do not expect any promotions. Because there are people have been here 2 yrs ahead of you. Even though you are doing much well than others. Too much back and forth internal, the biggest thing I have learnt here is how to push responsible to other office, and how to convince other office: hey this is your responsibility I won't do this, you need to do this. As there are too many offices around the world, you are only doing a tiny part of the work. You don't know what is happening, you don't know why it happened, you just sit there and do the standard procedures, without understanding the world. Everybody I know here is looking for another opportunities. Fortunately I got a new job somewhere else, ironically, most of my competitors were from Citco. This is the FACT. There are many people have master degree, most of them quit after 1-2 yrs or so. They are just hire new graduates to do the repeated job, you leave? No body cares - you are replaceable many new hues are waiting out of the door. If you want a job, if you want feed yourself, stay here. It's just a job, not a career. Do get some experience here, and run away. Given the fact that citco is a good place to gain experience for new graduates, I gave 2 stars. You need some experiences anyway. Lastly, "pay is insulting". I totally agree.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
