Pros

There is a lot of ethnic diversity and diversity of thought. There is still a feel of the "old boys club" though.

Cons

No matter what department or group that you are in, the employees are very cut-throat and will stab you in the front to get ahead.

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.
