Pros

Opportunities for professional growth for those who want it; that is to say one needs to be proactive in making their strengths, abilities and desire to advance known. Work/life balance, at least for me; I know of other colleagues who complain of long hours and/or managers who are not supportive of flexible work schedules and/or working remotely

Cons

Lack of effective communication and oftetimes, clear direction from management Persistent "us vs. them" politics between corporate functions and businesses

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.
