Pros

Great place for self starters, can gain experience in many different areas simultaneously. Pay is above average. Can work from home when required.

Cons

Long hours are common. Senior Leadership in Canada does not see the value of training or promotions. No vision for Canada and now everything is moving to the U.S or India. Citi will probably not have any presence in Canada in a couple of years.

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.
