Pros

. You have an option to choose a work location which can be little far from NY and have good house at a peaceful location. . The work is not all that hectic in Citi.

Cons

. Citi takes green card holders or citizens hence an H1B holder can only work as a consultant.

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.
