Pros

- Pay is decent - Opportunities within a large banking company - Good resume job

Cons

- The Culture: Working your employees to death is a part of the job. It’s an unwritten IA rule that every employee must be miserable and have no Work/Life balance. Everybody that works in IA hates their job, no exceptions - The Job Itself: It’s terribly uninteresting. All the workload of Public, yet x100 more boring. You’ll fall asleep reading endless DEA’s and completing Workflow Process’s till your heart dies on you at the ripe age of 27 - Management: must just be two kids in a trench coach because none of the decisions from management ever make sense. Employees want a WFH option? Force em back to the office. Our systems are outdated and barely functional? Let’s get a new system that has 0 integration with the old one and barely operates on its own. Record profits at Citi and our employees are underpaid and overworked? Time for a stock buy-back! It’s hilarious how out of touch management is with their employees - Technology: As mentioned above, it’s genuinely funny how outdated Citi’s tech and systems are. Business’s are struggling to get by with their decades old software and management could not care less. Also enjoy waiting 2 months to get access to software that’s vital to your job - Communication: Non-existent. Everything here is last second, ill thought out, and rushed

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.
