You are just a very small cog in a large machine and they can always replace you with a cheaper off-shore alternative. - Assistant Vice President Citi Employee Review

Pros

Getting time off at short notice is never a problem. Being able to work from home when unable to get to the office or having an appointment (doctors, dentist, etc).

Cons

No loyalty between management and staff. The feeling that you could be made redundant at any time. The total lack of recognition for a job well-done. Jobs for the boys. You are just a number, one of the headcount.

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.
