Pros

Since this is a large corporation, there are plenty of opportunities for movement. As far as technology, some organizations use the latest cutting edge stuff, others seem to be stuck in legacy/old technologies. The key is being in the right team.

Cons

Since this is a very large company, things don't change quickly. Due to layers of management, communication gets lost between layers and laterally.

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.
