Pros

My group within NRCET has great camaraderie Fridays WFH Saturday work needs exceptions Allowed to WFH if a late night previous day My group is super friendly New Citi leadership is great

Cons

When work is bad its bad Citi is trying hard to win mandates, leading to more pitching and late nights IB in general is just soul sucking Some seniors dont give a damn and will give you comments on a friday night

Pros

Opens. A lot of doors, a huge bank with real mobility. Great especially if you are young. And very global, which is exciting.

Cons

Can feel uncompetitive towards other bulge brackets at times, especially vs JPM, service and ops is incredibly painful, almost feels like you have to leave and come back to get paid market rate if possible at all. Its also IB vs everything else makes the bank feel two tiered.
