Pros

- HQ is nice, bonus for having a Starbucks in the main lobby - Business Resource Groups are great - Lots of good, nice people

Cons

- Sr Leadership is terrible... the smart/best employees are the ones sadly not in charge - Great junior talent but they conform to the "Citi Way" which means (1) laziness; (2) questionable integrity; (3) overpromise, underdeliver - No real company identify and strategy... outside of Bora Bora. No plan for how to further organic growth...

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

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.
