Pros

I spent pretty much an entire year doing nothing. I moved from group to group until finally I was in a position that only had around 5 hours a week of real work. I had an awesome summer where I was off pretty much the entire time. However I eventually had to give it up or risk a go nowhere career.

Cons

There are still a lot of projects being canned and people getting laid off. Change is constant and drastic, never stopping.

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.
