Pros

Benefits were competitive Pay was competitive

Cons

Citi would change the bonus structure whenever they fit. On two occassions they changed the payout after the sales numbers for the quarter have been recorded. Pressure from management was unbearable. Bankers hitting their numbers were not spaired. Daily wrap up conference call detailing every hour of your day

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.
