Pros

Great work life balance. Citi encourages people to work from home as necessary and many people do work from home one or two days a week. Some actually work from home and come into the offices only when necessary.

Cons

Department undergoing changes in senior management. Unsure if department will be retained or outsourced. No information is conveyed down to the staff about the future direction of the department.

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.
