Pros

Salary is good. This is a place you come to get good hike, stay a bit and leave.

Cons

Toxic culture, leaders and managers have been in the same company for all their lives. They have connections as they all have been here only. This would be one of those companies with the highest average tenure of manager and above position. Majority teams work is fake. I won't mention the business segment I am talking about, but those who know will understand this review.

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.
