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

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.
