Pros

This company offers the best overall package (time off, benefits, pay, etc) that I have ever had or heard of. Very generous time off benefits, especially. Overall, this company tries to do the right thing.

Cons

The tough economy has made getting a promotion impossible and really taken a toll on the feel of the place. Lots of nervous people.

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.
