Pros

Job security, lots of resources, huge company with global impact.

Cons

Huge company means it is slow to get anything done. There is a lack of direction/clarity on projects and requirements. Too many stakeholders with their own interests and not much bandwidth to build long term technology infrastructure. Instead, front office teams focus on one off requests and as a result are constantly re-inventing the wheel. Furthermore, the deluge of paperwork/ticketing makes it nearly impossible to accomplish anything.

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.
