Pros

I have found that Cit has an extensive global foot print which provides great carrer opportunities especially for somecone who wants to be in emerging markets. THe brand has taken a beating, but the poeple remaining in the IBD team are top notch and the deal exposure is great as a junior banker.

Cons

current turmoil has hit the bank harder than at other banks. THer is unertaiity on long-term prospects and i believe this is impacting the volume of business coming through the door. Wise to stay put at he moment through this cycle and seee what heppens in 2 years time.

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.
