I was a Managing Director at Citi and when a significant promotion was available, it was given to a male who was a Director, a more junior title at Citi than Managing Director.

Stories 85 and 94 are worse than anyone can imagine. The Technology group at Citi is known internally as the “Indian Mafia.” For years, it has operated like an unchecked power center where people do whatever they want, whenever they want.
