Pros

Senior leadership is upfront and invested in organization and people. Dedicated talented staff members with flexible work arrangements. Opportunity to take charge and contribute.

Cons

Cost savings measures are driving great talent and intellectual knowledge out of the company. Focus on saving each team, division and department taking priority.. While a globally diverse workforce, promotions are driven by location over talent.

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.
