Pros

A truly global corporation and you will probably work with some of the best people in the industry. Used to be an innovator in the industry, though that is no longer the case.

Cons

Limited career advancement potential, lot of bureaucracy and internal politics. It operates as a conglomorate of companies instead of a single corporation ofcussed on a common set of goals and objectives.

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

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.
