Pros

Lots of room for advancement as they change the chairs around every couple years to keep it interesting for Senior Management. Interesting ideas do get listened to but you have to deal with dinos and idiots getting in the way of progress. Good vacation after 5 yrs/VP and they are doing a decent job promoting life-work balance -- though of course it saves us money to have folks working from home.

Cons

Have seen large projects disappear into thin air without recognition of why they were a waste of time to begin with. Different business lines definitely still have issues working together.

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.
