Pros

Best fixed income research team on the street. People are nice and patient. Good place to start learning.

Cons

Currently the company has bad morale. Receiving TARP fund may cause loss of talent. Big scale leads to low effeciency.

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.
