Pros

At this point there are no good reasons to work at Citigroup. Management has destroyed the value that the name once may have had, so one is better off focusing on the better quality of experience available elsewhere.

Cons

Office politics, huge egos masking managerial incompetence . . . yet rarely exposed because senior management only respected information received through the heirarchy and universally considered it beneath them to listen. Everyone managed up.

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.
