Pros

Is a decent place to work if you know how to take care of yourself. 401(k) is the best part about being an employee here.

Cons

A very bureaucratic workplace. Pay is reputed to be very low compared to its peers. Health plans are expensive. TARP - enough said

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.
