Pros

They pay well. Nice campus. Very clean. Very corporate. Good benefits.

Cons

People in suits with little understanding of the technology they hire out for. Too many urgent fire drills keeping you working longer hours than necessary. Then you find that the fire drill was either brushed aside or defunded. Then on to the next one. You can work here for years under bad management and come out with little to nothing to show for your efforts but your paychecks. Much competition on the SVP level due to .org restructuring so cross your fingers that your bosses are in good with the higher ups.

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.
