Plenty of jobs available (of course, no one wants to stay for long) You learn a lot Looks great on your CV Good benefits

Cons

Long hours Absurd workload, costantly short staffed on purpose to save money Rude and aggressive managers You will soon feel miserable and devoid of energy at the end of the day, and your quality of life will nosedive Pay is rubbish considering the long hours and stress

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.
