      Pros

      The global exposure Citibank has provides many opportunities and a wide network. You will have the chance to work with many exceptional people.

      Cons

      Citi has a habit of 'playing favorites'. Although there are many exceptional people at Citi, there are many who are not there on their own merits, and will continue to get promoted and be protected for all the wrong reasons. Citi is not very good at rewarding on merit alone.

      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.
