Pros

Citi offers its employees a very good benefits, the 401 k matches you contribution 1 $ to 1 $ .

Cons

Citi will work you to death, Citi never sleeps and you will too. Burocracy is literaly whats killing them, you may spend most of your day making sure that you follow the procedures, it leave no time for actual work. Budget cuts everywhere, no coffee, no caps nothing left but more work. NO bonuses, no rises this year, most likely next year 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.
