Pros

I really don't have many pro's other than there are some okay people, very diverse organization (outside of leadership), and the pace of the work is great.

Cons

- No innovation - Lack of basic tech infrastructure - Consensus driven decision making, can't move things along - Machiavellian culture - Leaders do not care about their employees. Very old school (think GE era) way of running a company - Rampant racism

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.
