Pros

The company has great brand recognition globally, and that counts for a lot if you want to go internationally, but not so great within the States.

Cons

The culture is not very unified, and senior management doesn't really care what you think. Pay is not the greatest.

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.
