Pros

Free parking and breakfast

Cons

Work is so automated that any one could do it. My title was accountant yet I didn’t need to be one to do my job. During the interview I was told training would be tailored to suit my previous experience yet I was given the same training as graduates which wasn’t much help. I was lied to about the employee assistance offered for doing accountancy exams and also about what overtime was paid I was put in a lower position than I should have with my experience and was expected to have everything checked over by someone who had less experience than me which was a disaster Long hours are ridiculous

Dear reviewer, it is unfortunate that this has been your experience of Citco. We have always invested heavily in the training, learning and development of employees so it is disappointing to hear this did not suit your needs. Our Talent Development team also have an extensive offering of online learning materials to support self-learning and on the job training. We are proud of the robust Education Assistance programme offered by Citco, a policy that is applicable to all staff upon joining. We will of course take your feedback on-board regarding communication around setting clear expectations for all new joiners. I appreciate that due to the cyclical nature of our business, it means that there are certain times of the year when people are extraordinarily busy. We always try to balance this with policies and practices that promote and support health and wellbeing. Thank you for your contribution and feedback.

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.
