Pros

Citigroup had a very structured team system with many managers and teams. You could transfer to another team if the managers agreed. Every team was different. These teams allowed for a lot of professional growth.

Cons

Some of the management used a trickle down approoach with information which was very hard because things were constantly changing. Sometimes different people same positions would have different procedures etc. There was not a lot of consistency in performance because of this issue.

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.
