Pros

Seems like a nice place to work with opportunities aplenty. I would recommend them to anybody. Although I haven't been there long yet.

Cons

Some people say the end of year assessments are unfair as no one gets rating one and ratings two are only available to one member of team despite more than one member potentially deserving a two rating.

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.
