Pros

Good, committed people who have worked hard during some very rough periods where stock performance has been hit hard and devastating to many with multiple years with Citi. Good opportunities for employees who work hard and exceed their performance goals.

Cons

Due to slow financial recovery, remaining employees are saddled with more work yet less compensation and potential for advancement.

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.
