Pros

The pay is good and benefits are great. 401K is matched

Cons

They claim to be "one citi" in reality unless you are a manager amor anything higher they leave their employees out of the loop and make extreme changes without giving you a heads up. There are too many micro managers that make your life miserable. Even when you voice your opinion they do nothing.

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.
