Working at CitiGroup in Melville, NY: 6 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Melville, NY Area

"I've worked for Citi for 14 years and the last 5 years have been hell for IT workers. Layoffs, wage freezes, and outsourcing. Citi uses the unfair stacked rating system which predetermines which percentage of employees will be ranked where. New CEO Michael Corbat does not see the need for IT workers he views us a hinderance to Citi's bottom line."

"When I started working for Citi back in 2000 it was awesome place to work. However since 2010 company morale within the IT department is very low because of the constant threat of layoffs, outsourcing and wage freezes. The one positive thing about Citi is that the work/family balance is pretty good."

"I was fortunate to have a great supervisor who was very knowledgeable as well as opportunities to move up to higher positions with more responsibility. Unfortunately, raises were only lateral. The people in Senior Management have no personal involvement with their employees. Many IT employees in the New York Metro Area lost their jobs as a result of Data Centre Consolidation. Unless you live in Texas or in any other of their strategic sites, there are really no opportunities for you."
