Pros

It was a very friendly group of engineers. They have a mentorship program setup which helps new employees come up to speed in a fairly short time.

Cons

The team leads and management were always in meetings. It was tough to get the approval of the leadership to progress on your workout being that they were constantly absent.

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.
