Pros

There seems to be some places in company that still have a good working environment but these are now rare. The pressure that has hit the banking industry will probably make this even less of an occurance. I worked at the Weehawken location my first year and totally loved it. I think that they will be a good company again but it will be a tough couple of years.

Cons

Sometimes the pressure to work "extra hours" got a little out of hand.

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.
