Pros

Diverse culture with a global footprint

Cons

Extremely poor leadership. They have no clue what mid level managers are doing. My manager doesn’t log into zoom - doesn’t respond to messages, emails, meeting invites, and leaves the entire team in the complete dark. We were supposed to get rid of the folks holding us back but their roles just got shifted and for the worst.

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

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.
