Pros

Citi had a great culture in how management treated the employees. Senior and front line management in my experience were very respectful of the employees they managed.

Cons

The company is going through a massive restructuring and has laid off a significant number of employees in the last couple of years. This has made it a very unstable place to work with very little job security for most positions.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

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.
