Pros

1. Salary (at par with other FinOps role providers in the industry) 2. Club Mahindra holiday package of 3N/4D every year 3. Swanky offices

Cons

1. Manager won't care about your learning and development. You just have to get your job done 2. Everyone is overworked due to strict hiring policies and complete manual work with little to no technological intervention. Most of the time is spent on manual work on excel whereas analysis is done by senior people only 3. No fringe benefits at all 4. No work life balance 5. No regards for accountability. Every communication is either done on skype or whatsapp or personal call. Communicating on email is considered waste of time 6. Strict notice period policy with no negotiation considered for reducing it 7. There are checks and balances (on paper) regarding some cons mentioned but no one cares about them due to point 5.

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.
