Pros

Great opportunities to rotate within the organization and work on different products. There are also many positions across the globe and the firm allows for a lot of mobility and travel.

Cons

The corporate culture makes is hard to innovate and it can be challenging for junior employees to bring their own ideas to the table. The budgeting process can also make it hard to change course on projects as needed.

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.
