Pros

Prestige - that's about it...for now. Citi is weathering this financial storm in a mediocre manner. If it does not improve soon it will be another Lehman Brothers. Senior Management and higher ups feel the only way to "improve" is to cut analysts and higher VERY few people. Next year's analyst class is going to have a rough time because the Ops work is BORING AS ANYTHING. I want to get the hell out of here.

Cons

The culture is very disconnected, it is hard to make relations and senior management is unapproachable. ALso, exit opps are not great as well.

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.
