Pros

Good place to build a network. While this is an institution, you do genuinely get excellent exposure to top clients.

Cons

Beaurocratic. Slow and hard to get things done. The same problems come up again and again. People either learn to tolerate them or they leave. So many processes. Awful tech infrastructure

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.
