Pros

Big enough to get lost in and people will leave you alone Several examples of concealing things that should be reported to regulators I've seen people lie their way to promotions, reported it, and no one did anything about it.

Cons

Not the best group of people. Meaning, almost everyone talented leaves for better paying jobs or better cultures. CEO and C-level pay themselves a ridiculous amount of money, while cuttings thousands of jobs. Hmm, I wonder where their bonus money came from?

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.
