Good company to work for, with very good opportunities, but sometime daunted by its own internal political problems. - Quantitative Analyst Citi Employee Review

Pros

Big company with a number of internal opportunity; also a company able to trade in large sizes and therefore with the possibility to trade any type of instrument. Mostly friendly attitude and balanced life/work environment.

Cons

A company currently in search of directions, and unclear who is steering it (whether the US government or the CEO). A lot of red tapes and inefficient comunication between the business and the infinitely many IT (sub)systems.

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.
