Pros

Name recognition on your resume. It is good for you if you are open to relocation and want to experience a variety of opportunities within the company.

Cons

Politics, Politics, Politics. This is the name of the game at this company. This is a very status oriented company. Your title is your everything. You are treated a certain way based on your title and job level.

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.
