Pros

The pay is good and the flexability is unbelievable. You can work from home when you want and make your own schedule.

Cons

Moving up is based on who you know and not how well you do your job.They lay people off that have been there for a long time and then hire new employees to pay them less.

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.
