Pros

You will learn alot about managing numbers, and making presentations and managing projects.

Cons

This is not a people building place to work. Individuals are promoted for managing multiple projects- and not spending time with the people that are expected to make the results.

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.
