Hello friends,

I got an offer from Citi and was planning to join, but after going through reviews about going layoffs and WLB, I’m having second thoughts.

The role is for a C12 position in an internal project (under GFT as far as I understand).

Please help me decide whether it’s worth considering Citi's offer or I should just move on.

Insecurity is at its peak now. Random layoffs are being done to save overseas headcounts. A C10 in India is 8 times cheaper viz a viz a C12 you need to hire outside India. India is being made a scapegoat for these people, hiring is happening to fire them later so heads in US and UK can be saved. We have directors in India who make 10 times as much as a C10, who do nothing but gossip all day. Fired folks in Citi do not get even basic severance. If you find another offer on these 30 days please join there even at a lower salary level. You will regret coming here. We are doing HR appreciation days here for people who fired us. If you're coming from an internal project you must be aware of WLB. WLB is the poorest at Citi amongst all the firms Ive worked for; Ive worked with 7 companies.

One such C14 employee in UK has been an example of such cases. Aastha Uniyal, citi London.
What she did with an experienced New Joiner by setting roadmap to PIP, by forcing infeasible task was the topic of discussion in citi in 2024.

GFT was heavily impacted as part of layoffs in July. Do you have any competing offers? How many days are left in your notice period?

As of now, i have only citi's offer. 30+ days left in notice period.

Noone knows the end of these ongoing layoffs.
That's why some engineers here in India are planning to use this situation as a use case for AI programs. Predicting next layoffs and predicting career texture of an employee in citi.
Hard fact is everyone is trying to save their own position. And while doing so, the new joiners are treated as a next "Layoff Degree Holder". PIPs are already being planned for new joiners so that existing ones wouldn't be laid-off.
Not everyone, but many are following this.

We are insecure, and our our jobs are not secure!

What you said is true. I joined 2 years back and felt people are very insecured. no one focusing how we can improve in work but focusing on how we let down new joinees so they can be made PIP victims.

WTF!!!
HR Appreciation Days? For what?
Even as a Human Being, We don't rejoice in other's remorse....
That shows the ugly mindset of those So-Called celebrities at Citi being celebrated!

It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males.
