Pros

-some teams are great -the NYC office is beautiful -working in the NYC office is high energy and there are always things to work on

Cons

-the Jersey City office is very old school and quiet -oftentimes what you're working on is extremely tedious and Citi specific, often feels like the skills you are gaining aren't really software engineering theyre more just, how to navigate Citi

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
