Pros

if you're into politics and admin work, there's a lot of it for you to get into. Classic corporate ladder even for a tech worker. Hybrid WFH arrangements

Cons

Bad place to be if you're a half decent developer. Lack of tech culture. Being a software engineer here feels more like you're going through admin paperwork than developing software. Lots of managers, not enough leaders. Toxic management, especially at a lower level. Low bar for developers, meaning you'll have to do your own work on top of cleaning up after others.

Pros

Hybrid schedule right out of “training” and FT WFH privilege came much faster than expected. There are some great benefits. Job confidence as

Cons

Training was a waste of Citi’s money and a train wreck. Facilitator was all over the place. Normally there’s a flow to training, there was no flow and it was all over the place. OJT felt like sinking or swimming.
