- excellent management - fast paced work style yet relaxed environment

Cons

- office politics, people who work there often formed different groups and edge out people didnt belong to their group. - old computers, old system, old software. - outsourcing employee. most of the office entry level employee were outsourced. most of them were on contract with outsourcing agent such as "Manpower" and hence did not have benefits like those full-timer.

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.
