Pros

Very intelligent people; hybrid working; good working hours (most roles do not require evenings/weekends)

Cons

Managers are not trained appropriately and therefore the relationships between direct reports are poor. Very high attrition rate left morale low with colleagues competing against each other rather than working as a team

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.
