Pros

The company is so big that there are many opportunities to obtain a varied work experience. They company is also very good about providing training, both ongoing and new skill development. You are also working for a company with international cachet.

Cons

It is easy to get lost in the shuffle. Here, the size plays to the company's detriment. One could easily feel like a cog in the machine, dehumanizing one's belief in one's self worth. There also isn't much corporate sense of loyalty. This is probably pretty true of most large corporations, but consequently, it leads to less loyalty among the employees as well.

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.
