Pros

Great people, there is a lot of work to be done, benefits are quite good. You won't make a significant impact, but you will have the opportunity to learn a lot

Cons

Pay remains stagnant of long periods of time. In place promotions are exceptionally rare and the company is so large that changes in direction happen before the benefit from a previous change can be fully realized.

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.
