Pros

Lots of bright people and opportunities within the company but you must seek them out yourself. You must manage your own career.

Cons

Focus always appears to on the short-term. it's always about making the numbers - month to month, quarter to quarter, and most importantly the annual budget or forecast.

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.
