Pros

- Global reach. Citi's size creates specializaed functions that enables you to develope skills that are critical to the function. - Advancement potential. Most positions are what you make of them. Should you choose to excel and go after projects/improvements you can have an impact and advance yourself. - Some very smart people. Most divisions have a great culture.

Cons

- Always in the regulator's scope and the public eye. - In recent years, a very fluid organization. - Specilized functions. If you or your funciton is moved out, no longer needed or otherwise superflous you will be at risk unless you diversify your skillset.

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.
