Pros

They pay well compared to local rivals, i guess it looks good on the CV once you leave (and you will)

Cons

The hours, the managers, the lack of any compassion at all. It is the worst place i have EVER worked.

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.
