Pros

There are many pros of working at Citi including: -Opportunity to work with a great group of colleagues -Work was challenging and rewarding at the same time -A lot of opportunities to "own" your work -Great work life balance -Great benefits (healthcare, 401K match, etc.)

Cons

While there are many opportunties to develop your skill set for the next role, finding the next role is often difficult and requires dedicated time to find those roles by yourself.

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.
