Pros

Benefits day one and that is it.

Cons

They hire a lot of young adults who just want to hang around and talk. The only reason I hung around as long as I did, was because there are not to many job choices in Tucson.

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.
