Pros

Great multicultural environment, friendly colleagues, global projects, network groups

Cons

Poor salary. Sites are getting closed due to cost saving and forcing people to leave or join teams they never wanted to. Some managers are over-stretching their directs, some so autocratic that they fire the servant leaders creating a culture of fear

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.
