Pros

- Great compensation rate - Large global organization with huge opportunities - Opportunities to interact with people around the globe - Mostly knowledgeable and very helpful management

Cons

- Expect you to work after hours - Need to be a workaholic in order to be promoted - Every manager spends at least 10 hours (sometimes 12 and more) a day at work, working crazy hours, once again, they expect the same from you - Fire people without replacing them and expect the rest of the team to do their work load.

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.
