Pros

I have started my career with Citi, worked with a few teams there. The one thing that is best is it's work life balance.

Cons

I have seen some politics when it comes to promotions, but it mostly is for people at higher positions. For people at junior positions they purely go with talent, which is amazing

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.
