Overall, a good place to work. It's all what you make of it. - Vice President Citi Employee Review

Pros

I happen to have a set of good senior managers directly around me, so it makes things quite satisfying. I have also managed to acquire a good team under me - excellent people. The work is for the most part interesting, and the work-life balance is good. They do recognize top talent, just wish there was more of it. There are some good people, there are some bad. Still trying to figure out who's who sometimes...

Cons

Just wish we had a higher percentage of really good people...I think Citi is just too nice sometimes and really needs to clean house a bit more. Most of the groveling comes from those who should have departed long ago. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

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.
