      Pros

      According to ex-colleagues who had moved on to other banks, Citi Private Bank is comparatively non-political, and truly tries move forward for the business. Colleagues are pretty collegial and open, except for a few mid-level management who can be nasty, as with any workplace.

      Cons

      Despite the usual talk about meritocracy, it really is about being at the right place at the right time for any movement, lateral or otherwise. Being someone's pet also helps.

      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.
