Pros

salary...other than that nothing is good

Cons

No work life balance. if you raise concerns, you would probably be humiliated by senior management. Too much of politics. Management wants you to work late hours, on weekends. During notice period also the senior AVPs and VPs, trouble you a lot, and if you don't give in to their demands, you are threatened about your exit not being smooth. No mental peace at all.

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.
