Pros

The pay is OK. The offices in Frankfurt are very well located close to the Opera house. If you want to move to London, it's a good platform, also for pepople who love finance....

Cons

Bad management. Bad work conditions (lack of space), very little attention was given that we barely had enough elbow space to work and the noise levels in the office was always very high. Management does not understand technical issues. The heavy use of outsourcing to India is an another problem. The outsourcer's personnel is changing all the time, they get treated like rubbish buy their own management and the results are bad quality, lack of motivation and never ending levels of miscommunication.

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.
