Pros

Salary is a little better but that is it.

Cons

1. They are running a sweatshop at their Mississauga office. 2. It has a very bad crowd. People, they talk all the time, they don't even care that they are disturbing other people. 3. You don't have a preassigned desk, you have to find an empty desk. You also have to clear your desk after work. 4. Every desk has a VDI and you are supposed to connect to your remote machine with the help of VDI. Everything is very slow, and the machine hangs all the time. Even you cannot connect your headphones to the VDIs. 5. A lot of people do support work and get over 300 emails every day (not exaggerating), bad place to learn anything technical, just remember it is a bank. 6. You are expected to work over 10 hours every day. 7. They don't have coffee machines, unlike most companies. 8. Dirty restrooms, you will feel as if you are in a public restroom.

Pros

Hybrid schedule right out of “training” and FT WFH privilege came much faster than expected. There are some great benefits. Job confidence as

Cons

Training was a waste of Citi’s money and a train wreck. Facilitator was all over the place. Normally there’s a flow to training, there was no flow and it was all over the place. OJT felt like sinking or swimming.
