Pros

The work/life balance, culture, & employees are all great to work with. The work is both challenging and rewarding. There is always something new to learn. There is a huge emphasis on diversity, and in today's political climate, I highly value that. Everyone celebrates each other, and I really love that.

Cons

At times, it can feel like sales numbers are more important than the people doing the work, and you may not feel as valued. That is common at most companies, though.

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.
