Pros

Citi has a great work/ life balance with a flexible work schedule. There is a young and fun corporate culture.

Cons

Compensation is very poor. Promotions are given without salary increases. Decisions made are from so many levels above that they don't make practical sense when applied. The company is full of overpaid managers that do very little to contribute to the bottom line while the first three levels of positions are considered expendable.

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.
