Pros

Some great people A lot of exposure, get to experience things out of my comfort zone Allocations of Increments, promotions and bonuses within the department are fair (although the pool from which they are allocated is rather meager)

Cons

Extremely process and paperwork intensive A lot of unnecessary pains and waste of time due to insufficient underlying tools or poorly trained support personnel decade old technologies Not a conducive environment to cultivate software engineering talent Constant fire-fighting and support duties which distract me away from working on permanent/long-term solutions

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.
