Pros

Very flexible with schedule Some great programs for work from home

Cons

Culture makes promotions based on personality rather than performance or character If you don't work in one of the headquarter sites, you quickly top out Raises are few and far between and usually less than the cost of living increase Technology is antiquated Inability to leverage technology and processes across business lines

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.
