Pros

- Learning thru osmosis as new tech & features are applied - Hybrid - Valuable global teamwork experience - The Wellness program offers many health care opportunies, where some have fees and some are free, (Fitness, Physical Therapy, Mental Therapy, etc..) - Good Medical, Eye and Dental Insurance

Cons

Very long hours - Lack of resources to tap into to assist with the Product Manager's work load - It takes ~ 1- 2 years for new Tech staff to learn how to navigate thru Citigroup's internal business functions and heirchy, these Contractors become more resourcefull, productive and confident to get tasks done. However, many productive contractors are terminated when contracts expire, such-as Project Managers. It would be beneficial to keep seasoned staff on so they could quickly ramp up for new projects

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.
