Pros

Citi has fairly sound governance and policies, great place to learn

Cons

Lots of turnover in the C-suite since late 2018 and new management is committed to a strategy focused on expense reductions. Telework is disappearing, as too many layers of substandard management value employee presence more than work. Internal mobility is non-existent.

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.
