Pros

Big company experience, room for movement.

Employees can be stagnated as more experienced but low performing employees move up the ranks while less experience and more talented employeed have to wait in the wings. There is no meritocracy.

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.
