Pros

Not a cliche; much intellectual capital. Global reach; connecting with colleagues in other locations. Uncanny ability to weather every crisis.

Cons

Managers have perfected the science of "managing up"; good people/successful people are thrown under the bus by management if it helps a manager's career.

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.
