Pros

Citi has good health care and many choices of coverage. Work/Life balance is fair because it affords you the time to attend to family needs when necessary.

Cons

The lack of communication. Citi lacks defined career paths and opportunities to expand a person's career. For example, if you have a speciality and a unique skill set your opportunities are limited. In addition, obtaining information on how your new job titled (during the recent reorg) was determined and what KSA are required for that position.

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.
