Pros

Brand, develop talent their way, but has proven to work, but you must be able to be flexible and be able to adapt.

Cons

It can be very old style and hierarchial and control heavy, but there are many reasons why that is appropriate too.

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.
