Pros

Good atmosphere in general, you can get into a good group and have a great social life. When you joing the company there is a feeling that youv'e signed up to something great.

Cons

Work life is not great, long hours and pay package is pathetic. Very very political. Hard work doesn't pay at all. It seems like the only way to be successful in the company is saying the right thing at the right time. Getting a promotion is next to impossible unless you are always on the right side of management. You get away with doing nothing and staying long hours and getting rewarded for it.

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.
