Pros

largely depends on manager. Work can be super boring or some-what interesting. WLB depends.

Cons

Good if you want to retire, and work 40hr/week with minimal stress if you on good team. Bad if you are super ambitious. Lots of bureaucracies... lots. Slow to build anything. Old architectures....

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.
