Pros

You will meet some talented people wasting their lives there and being undervalued.

Cons

Completely mediocre senior management. Performance management is a joke - its all about saying yes and being a "champion" . Completely devoid of culture. Loves to underpay employees. No vision. HR is a joke. All talk no action. Wish they would shut up and get results.

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.
