Times have changed a lot since starting with this company. May be good again one day but for now- too much uncertainty. - Branch Manager Citi Employee Review

Pros

The best reasons to work for citigroup are the training, which is extensive and the employee benefits. Until the last few years, company growth and new job potential was a big factor for liking the company. The one good thing hat has come about recently is that it appears that we are finally starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel and the company may be stabalizing

Cons

Downsides are the uncertainty and the cutting back everywhere within the company. WHen I first started there was flexiblity in terms of employee bonus and recruiting. That is no longer an option for either. Watching the company stock fall to the sub $1 range

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.
