Pros

Definitely the people. I enjoy working with them and being around them in general. It's a culture where everyone gets along with each other and the senior folks definitely try to take care of the new folks. During my internship, everyone was very supportive and understanding. I was invited to go back but decided to look at other options due to the state of our economy.

Cons

It is a company that is very unstable at the point. The lack of job security has led to an outflow of talent. The company has struggled recently due to the economic crisis and I hope for the best for everyone there.

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.
