Pros

Benefits are alright, though health insurance is a bit lacking these days. There is 401k match, but is it now matched at 4% instead of 6%. The pay level is alright, but could be higher.

Cons

I feel like a little mouse in this gigantic company. Senior management is hard to get along with, and there's a thick wall between us. Technology is poor and communication is lacking. Please downsize this company and improve teamwork.

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.
