Advice to Senior Management – N/A

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Citi full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The company name sound
Employees here are nice

Cons – Lack of respect to employees and company's policy from management team
Managers really act like manager, you will definitely have the impression that you are “Managed" Pushing, Micro Management ...

Advice to Senior Management – Citi still owes me about 1 year's on-call payment. Are you going to pay me back?
According to the employee hand book sent together with the offer, there is $30/day off hour support compensation. But there is no such payment until early 2012 for the near shore team which was setup in 2009 in Mississauga. We understand something might get overlooked for a new team, but as a big (or famous) company, how can you pretend this is a new policy and only start the payment from early 2012? Should't you apologize to employees for your negligence and make up all the missed pay from the very first day the new team started the off hour support?

To job seeker：
Above is only one of the many samples that we never think they could happen in such a big/famous company. So please take them into your consideration while making decision. Good luck!
