Pros

Free drinks. Free beer (but it doesn't matter for some) Dinner after working till 9pm (which is quite often)

Cons

Management believes that you should have no life - only work. Manager will raise his eye brows every time you ask for time off (vacation, family) Management will raise eye-brows if you leave at 5pm - or 6pm. Should be prepared to stay till 7pm if you start at 9am. You can start as early as you want, management doesn't care....or appreciate. Your workload will keep increasing and your salary will stay flat. Be prepared to hear excuses from the company about not being profitable. Bonus or incentive is truly a joke. I was ashamed to tell my wife how much bonus I got (the only time we got it). She doesn't know to this day...and I don't intend on telling her. Company would rather put money on beer, snacks and drinks rather than bonuses across the employees. Citco believes that employees will be drunk enough after 5pm anyways to complain about the low salary and bonuses.

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.
