Pros

the Fed won't let us fail.

Cons

nothing gets accomplished at this company. There's issues that keep coming up every year, we analyze it and come up with a recommendation. People spend time reviewing it then nothing becomes of it. This is a very big company so it's easy to get lost. In addition, things happen at this company that don't happen elsewhere.

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.
