Pros

Broad range of jobs if you want to explore opportunities, Diverse employee population lends itself to working across many ethnic background and geographic areas. The Global footprint allows for travel and opportunity as well and exposure to working with different regions. Work can be what you make out of it.

Cons

Silos exist and diversity in thinking can be a challenge as well as a benefit. People do not seem to get rewarded for what they do but for what they say they do. So a very pretentious incompetent individual could rise the ranks faster than a quieter more deadicated worker.

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.
