Pros

Vacation time & PTO, good health/dental/vision benefits, decent internal perks like gift cards for completing health challenges. One of the biggest benefits is a flexible/remote schedule that allows a lot of opportunities to work from home. Overall there's a lot of great people here & most of them will go out of their way to help you if you're looking to learn & not just being lazy. It's a great place to learn, expand your network (if you're willing to put in the time) and gather experience.

Cons

The proverbial red tape is endless. With a company this size it stands to reason, but it can be EXTREMELY difficult to make progress, conclude decisions or get agreements. Teams can be somewhat fragmented, in that team building events may be plentiful for one group & non-existent for another, even if they're in the same reporting hierarchy. Some reviews rave about the work/life balance here, but that varies heavily by what team you're on. Anything AML is out of control, especially in North America driving projects. It's not atypical to be expected to drive projects like a PM while getting paid like a junior analyst.

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.
