Pros

Good company to work for to get experience in the Financial Services field. Great people within the organization. Fast paced environment will never leave you bored.

Cons

Employee incentive doesn't seem to mean much to the organization. Work life balance is encouraged but rarely demonstrated. The organization isn't really on the cutting edge of technology.

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.
