It's all about cost saving, no focus on quality or people. Alot of lay off and moving jobs to cheaper locations. - Senior Vice President Citi Employee Review

Pros

Large international business, great exposure.

Cons

Just like other banks in the industry, all focus on cost saving since it's hard to grow revenue. Alot of layoff or moving jobs to cheaper locations which lead to poor morale, and tough environment to work in, not focus on quality of work/output. Below inflationary raise.

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.
