Pros

- Market leader in credit card

Cons

- People are fighting for very scarce resources i.e. budget, headcount. Not good if you just join in the middle of the year since you have to make do with the very minimum resources to achieve the target - Lack of teamwork

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.
