Pros

Organizational culture is great, is strong among employees and teams, distinct from other companies. Work Life balance is a great benefit. Very talented people.

Cons

Benefits and salary increase are not that huge. Trainings should be given more emphasis and should be given more focus by managers. Career mobility is not that high.

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.
