Pros

Potential for advancement if you are the right person. Otherwise you get lost in the mix of the other 300K employees.

Cons

They are too big for their own good. Bad decisions made by upper management who are unaware of the reality down below.

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.
