Pros

Great building, amenities, work-life balance (in some departments), large area for parking, great cafeteria and gym.

Cons

For the finance group, everybody ultimately rolls up to senior management in New York City. They rarely promote people in Buffalo and when they do, it is only in title and not salary in many situations. There is no way to work on career advancement within this office other than being networked into one higher level executive. Company has a strong NYC bias. Management moves people around at will without posting and interviewing for jobs. Many positions do not have formal job descriptions.

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.
