Pros

Great company from outside. 100 million customers in 100 countries . Largest bank in the world at one point . Lots of people work here...

Cons

Lots of different groups inside the company from various mergers. Lots of people have been here for many many years and huge networks and connections which can be tough to break into..

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.
