Pros

Benefits are decent, PTO is more than fair at an Officer level. There appear to be decent opportunities for growth within the company.

Cons

The size of the company means that most employee-relations procedures are automated, it is nearly impossible to get assistance. There is little to no sense of teamwork or community. Potential for overtime is considered when compensation offers are made, resulting in low offers. Company requires you to provide your own equipment for hybrid schedule qualification, while providing no stipend for wear and tear on personal electronics being used for business. Office space is extremely uncomfortable, company seems determined to keep people in the office likely in order to avoid “wasting” rent on a commercial office space, despite most business and all meetings being conducted via Zoom.

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.
