Hi there, I'm working with citigroup too.
The thing is, if you are interested in fraud or internal audit..this job will be a suitable stepping stone for you. Otherwise it's gonna be a big waste of your time. Haven't been here for long...but boy, i feel like screaming at the thought of staying here for long!!
I'm not sure how bright your prospect is at moving to a different career path albeit still in banking line though, but if you work more than 4 years there, you can apply to transfer (provided there's a posting) within citi whether local or overseas.
Like a previous member said, experience here is limited...when I was in training, a senior offered to write a report for the new hirees on behalf of our supervisor because she said that she can then put something else on her resume besides 'copying and pasting'. One senior has left only after a few months here, and all the seniors I've talked to are planning to leave...
To another member who said that menara citibank is full, well, for your information, wisma char yong is full too!! So we don't know where you will be put when you come in. It's like every week there are new hirees.
Me personally, i'm getting out of there. The seniors are great, my supervisor is cool, my colleagues are easy to get along with, but the job isn't what I want to do. Anyone can do it. It sucks the living soul out of me. I regret accepting it, because I would like to be free to go for interviews.
And a member mention about OT...the OT is only for weekends. On weekdays if you work 3 hours after your required hours, you'll get meal allowance of RM20.
Came back from the interview. Honestly, i won't be taking the offer also.
The first thing that came into my sight is, lotsa people staring at the monitor. very quiet environment... it feels like the computer lab in my uni's library.
then the malay lady interviewed me. she was friendly and easy to get along type and very straight to the point.
but then! she started the conversation with all the bad stuff about this position: long working hours, boring job, won't get to meet people..and keep encouraging me to work with my dad (we have family business but it's not the stuff that i wanna work).
i guess they have too high turn over rate and dowan to waste time training the new ones and after a month or two, they leave.
