Pros

Name recognition. Having Citi on your resume will have other recruiters calling you up for interviews. On-site cafeteria. Steady schedule with no work/life balance issues.

Cons

I worked in their Global Screening Operations department, and it was one of the most mundane jobs I've ever had. The job description made it seem a lot more appealing, so I fell for it. The work was extremely monotonous, and basically anyone with half a brain could do it. You don't learn anything of true value from this position. It honestly felt like a trap, because since you don't learn any sought-after skills, it's extremely hard to land a higher level position in another department, let alone landing an interview with them in the first place. There's virtually no team morale since management does not promote team activities/outings. Most of the AML departments at the Tampa campus are volatile, and there were some structural layoffs during my time there. This was a major turn off to me because it didn't seem like there was a difference in job security between a full-time employee and a contractor.

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.
