Pros

1. Global organization - if interested in international career, a good place to be. Still has a great reputation in Asia and emerging markets. 2. Benefits are pretty decent.

Cons

1. Extemely, extremely siloed. Moving from one department to another is akin to changing companies. 2. Human resources function, irrespective of location, is atrocious. Collectively they are the bane of the organization. 3. Not a meritocracy by any stretch of the imagination.

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.
