Pros

Great place to work for 40 years and retire. If you like slacking and politics, this is the place for you!!!

Cons

If you are a developer or somewhat technical, stay away. It's impossible to get development done. They just buy vendor products and hire people to keep them running. Mostly contractors. We had to rewrite an application we spent 2 years building in a different tech stack because our new manager "didn't like the language" it was dotnet core and he wanted it into python cause he read stuff about it. They don't give you the tools, software, hardware, anything. Everything is a fight. Real CI/CD is non-existent.

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.
