Free checking account and some banking services that the company provides to all employees. Banking Holidays are additional days off - paid

Cons

Many people work at their jobs for over 50 to 60 hours each week. Lots of folks end up doing more than one job at the same time.

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.
