Pros

Good strong company, known worldwide for its leadership in the financial industry. Great technical opportunities, as long as you are willing to work extremely hard. Citi is on it’s way to being a global leader with all aspects of IT and I am proud to be a part of that.

Cons

IF you are not working harder than everyone else, your job is in jeopardy! Citi is always cutting costs and laying people off, while executives are getting huge bonuses and salaries! Every single year, they are cutting benefits for the worse, to save more money.

Pros

Hybrid schedule, supportive managers, opportunities

Cons

Once you’re in, comp basically plateaus. Layoffs are happening across the board, which tends to be the full-time culture of citi. The vibe is very much “run lean” until something actually breaks, and only then consider adding headcount. You have to be intentional about protecting your work-life balance, because the implicit expectation is that you’re always on—24/7, 365—without the support of a properly staffed team.
