      Too political - Vice President Citi Employee Review

      Pros

      Exposure to wide varieties of technologies. Nice people. Opportunities to hone your political skills. Lots of diversity, lots of different kinds of people to meet. You get to interact with a vast array of people.

      Cons

      Too much politics. Real workers who want to just do their job are not allowed to work sincerly. ITs a political jungle in there. Extremely vertical groups, each group only does their thing, and nothing else. ITs like wearing blinders to work. There is no sharing of data/information between groups, and there is a lot of back stabbing and back biting.

      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.
