Pros

Apparently, Citi has a decent benefits package, but that's just about it. Other than that, there's not much going for it.

Cons

It's a totally thankless job. Quality of work means nothing. it's a huge bureaucracy where at least 70% of your efforts go into covering your bottom or battling the red tape imposed by other departments who are covering their's.

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.
