Pros

Mangement is compotent in my department, and allow you to take time off usually when you want, as long as your back up is not off. Vacation time is pretty good and you can earn an extra few days for giving to charity

Cons

No advancement, no raises, no bonuses.. health care plan was just modifed and costs increased so it was like receiving a pay cut... Bonuses are non-existent.. upper management does not allow numbers to be released, so they tell you that you are doing a good job and are ahead of last year, but you never know by how much... advancement is tough, and raises are not there

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.
