Pros

You name it, you can do it as a career, within the vast company. There is a true sense of value of all staff, and generally, management are supportive

Cons

Finance is fickle, and the market changes frequently. The blinkered need to achieve a (say) 10% cut again... coupled with frustrating bureaucracy... can make it hard work to simply raise a purchase order!

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.
