Pros

PTO is amazing Work from home was an option on an as needed basis when I was there. Benefits were decent At the time, culture was amazing They celebrate so much diversity! The ability to jump from one position to the next to gain experience and knowledge Room for growth Maternity and Paternity leave insanely amazing

Cons

Citi was a great place to start my career. I gained experience in mortgages, foreclosures, office settings, and eventually gained skills in SQL. Unfortunately, the company changed when they released all of their default loans to another company. Many people lost their jobs, tenure, and severance packages in the transition. I understand that's the business, but it was hard to watch. That's not the important part. During this shift, they seemed to rearrange teams internally and those who were left were stuck in areas or departments that didn't make sense. My specific team got pushed under management who didn't know how to manage the processes which made doing our jobs harder.

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.
