Pros

Allows some remote work. Alot of great benefits. Overall good to work for. Good people. Great place for diversity. Good work life balance although they are reducing work from home.

Cons

Technology can be behind. Sometimes too large. Sometimes upper management making decisions that should be left to lower management. They were fully remote for a long time but now forcing on site partially (Even when you don't even have any co-workers in the local site)

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.
