Pros

Nice work environment Central location Good to put on CV

Cons

Long working hours beyond your contracted hours. You will be expected to stay late every night with no additional pay. There are some there work 11-12 hour days. If you do leave on time you'll be expected to give a reason and made to feel bad about it by management. Lack of communication between teams, management, co workers makes working difficult day to day. Lack of atmosphere, most workers look like zombies and talk like them too, no craic. Any wonder when they work so many hours they aren't getting paid for.

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.
