Pros

Turnover is high so you may be able to get your foot in the door. You may be able to get promoted given higher turnover assuming you do what you have to do and some.

Cons

New compensation plans are a lot lower these days even for higher ups. Your base can only go up like 10% or so when moving up a level which the company and all don’t advertise. Very toxic team managers who are stuck on zoom meetings all day everyday and cannot police the nasty toxic teammates who don’t have professionalism. New ai project Aurora going to eliminate more jobs given automation. Many higher ups are leaving as well which tells you there are much better opportunities elsewhere that pay a lot more.

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.
