Pros

Citi has good benefits and competitive salaries. I did not think that the work was that demanding or challenging, which may be a pro or con, depending on what you are looking for. There is definitely room for career growth and plenty of opportunities globally.

Cons

Citi's management is mostly incompetent. They make poor decisions and fail to listen to their employees. Also there were a lot of lay offs/restructurings while I was there. Mostly people in NY were being laid off and jobs were moving to low cost areas. Training/onboarding new employees was another weakness of Citi's. Also the bureaucracy inhibits efficient work from being accomplished and prevents innovative changes from being implemented.

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.
