Pros

Global company with people across many different functions. The very scale of the company would have you believe that there are opportunities about with respect to career development and progression.

Cons

The Citi culture is awful. The people there are very unpleasant and not team players. When you first start out there if you ask someone for help there are very few people actually willing to help you. I was even told that one person couldn't help me because that would take him away fro his own work. There is no consistent onboarding process and you stay in a constant state of ambiguity. The company is run in silos that are almost impenetrable.

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.
