Pros

- Personal banking benefits - Global opportunities - Pretty good pay for the technology sector overall - Almost impossible to get fired

Cons

- Senior management all too happy to accept mediocre performance - Very hard to get things done - Working in technology is completely thankless - For all the talk of a meritocracy, getting on and getting paid more is very tough - Truthfulness gets you into trouble

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.
