Pros

You don't need previous experience to be hired for an entry position. Pay is not bad - £27k (per year) at the start for new hires. However, no money is worth this amount of stress. Great benefits (plenty of different insurance options such as life, critical illness, dental, travel insurance etc.)

Cons

Toxic work environment (FX Operations department) Work-life balance is non existent. No recognition for extra work/hours. Everything is your fault. Management doesn't take any responsibility for mistakes they made. High staff turnover - people leave because it's too much pressure and it's not worth the money. Sooner or later, this work will take a toll on your mental and physical well-being.

Pros

Hybrid schedule right out of “training” and FT WFH privilege came much faster than expected. There are some great benefits. Job confidence as

Cons

Training was a waste of Citi’s money and a train wreck. Facilitator was all over the place. Normally there’s a flow to training, there was no flow and it was all over the place. OJT felt like sinking or swimming.
