      Pros

      Workaholics get timely and good promotions. And below average performers can easily survive coz they don't fire people on basis of performance. Plenty of holidays and good parental leave policy.

      Cons

      HR team is incompetent. No work life balance. Seniors don't respect juniors/subordinate. Management abuses their leads all the time. Ratings are not fair and justified. Promotions are predecided and on that basis you get tasks so you get to showcase your work and rest of the team is ignored. Politics wins over hard work. Not many perks. Lot of restrictions. Poor tech progress, very slow to adapt.

      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.
