Pros

It is a large company and not going out of business any time soon. Company has many programs. Company is large enough for relocation and job mobility. The company offers different flexible spending options like parking, health care, and transit.

Cons

-lots of silos -groups do not talk to each other and lots of finger pointing -high cost for medical (2009- $82 per paycheck) -a tendency to lay off employees and bring in foreign consultants to work slightly cheaper -employees never meet with HR, even during benefits season. Employees tend to get an email with updates. There is no avenue to discuss issues related to Human Resources.

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.
