Pros

A decent salary, experience working in a large financial institution, and a not too pressured working environment are all good reasons to work for Citi. There are also good career options with internal mobility.

Cons

The technology is not always the latest and greatest; there are some exceptions and teams doing really good work, but there are also some legacy systems. In such a large company it is also possible for mediocracy to survive.

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.
