Pros

well there is still pride in working for this bank being the largest in the world plus all the loans available to some employees.

Cons

not so good in compensating employees probably due to difficulties experienced during the financial melt down. no bonuses! minimal increase.

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.
