While overall, the benefits are fair, the salaries are at the low/middle range for the region and job function and that cannot being to make up for the fact that the overall culture of CIT is terrible. The Portsmouth office is perhaps the only bright spot, that said, it won't be long before the oppressive CIT hammer pounds the life out of what was a truly nice place to work. Visit other offices and if feels like '1984'. Its heads down and stay anonymous.

The corporate culture of CIT may be among the worst I have ever experienced. It is extremely political with most of the middle tier of management (VPs and Directors) sucking up to the higher ups and either taking credit for their team's work or backstabbing up and comers at any opportunity. There is no concept of Win-Win and collaboration is lacking. If you're brave enough to voice an alternate opinion you'll be vindictively marginalized, sidelined, perhaps reassigned, or 'reduction in force' out of the company - unless you leave first. The philosophy tends to lead to an 'obey and do what I say' culture as opposed to identifying new ways to accomplish your work and be productive. Perhaps even worse is the lack of real management and leadership experience to achieve the tech goals leadership wants. Instead of listening to those who know, the 'traditional banking' approach dominates. This leads to constantly shifting prioritizes, daily fire drills, weekly shuffling of staff and resources - it is amazing that anything gets done and why initiatives take so long if they ever do get completed. These leads to a poor work-life balance. It is not uncommon for late nights, weekends - all the result of poor planning and subpar leadership. Sadly CIT has become the old school bank that is represented in the memes we all see: Overly political, greedy management, stiff and lacking in the ability to be innovative (they want to be creative but the management and leadership have drained the life out of the best contributors).
