Pros

Citi offers wide range of really good benefits

Cons

There’s a lack of communication when you’re at an entry level job. You’re supposed to be able to lean on your managers for support, but that doesn’t always happen. Citi cares more about productivity than they do their employees well-being. They make a big deal about how they like to promote within, however they don’t help you get to that point. If you’re a good employee you have to pick up everyone else’s slack. Citi was a much better company before COVID started, but since then it’s gone pretty downhill.

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.
