Good pay and benefits overshadowed by low morale and political dysfunction - Senior Software Engineer Citi Employee Review

- Abysmal morale within the company despite making $3+ billion per quarter in profit since 2024 - Internal politics is a huge drag on getting anything done, frequently eels like teams work against rather than with one another - Average skill level of colleagues worldwide is poor, pervasive culture of managers whose main goal is to grow their "clique" in headcount terms over everything else, combined with RIF initiatives/headcount reductions at the expense of institutional knowledge, creating a toxic ambient environment (both encouraged by leadership)
