What sort of appraisal system does Citi
have?
You and your manager should regularly review your key job
responsibilities, and your goals/targets for the year
ahead. Your manager will be responsible for carrying out
objective goal setting, development planning and an individual
formal appraisal with you at least once a year. This is designed to
ensure that you have an opportunity to discuss your past and future
performance and put in place suitable plans for your learning and
growth. It will also assist Citi in making accurate and objective
assessments of you, particularly with regard to compensation
reviews and your future development. Depending on the region in
which you work, you may also receive a mid-year assessment. This
will give you a chance to review performance and goals within a
shorter time frame, which may help you make sure you are on track.
In addition to this formal appraisal process, you can expect to
receive informal feedback from your manager on a regular basis. You
should feel free to talk to your manager at any time about your
performance or any other aspect of your job.

What is the dress code?
Whether you should follow a business casual dress code or formal
business attire depends on which particular business you work in.
However, when attending business meetings with visitors or clients,
your attire should reflect that of the individuals with whom you
are meeting.
