Pros

Benefits are generous and salary was in line with market rates

Cons

This crowd don't believe in work life balance and treat people like robots. I felt unsupported and got a bad feeling from the beginning. I lasted six months before i decided life was too short I walked out with no job to go to it was that bad

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.
