Pros

Everything is well established so development work normally is enhancement and bug fixing. Just need to do routine work. The company in general is pretty stable.

Cons

Some restrictions in trading floor even for tech guys. For instance, using cellphone is prohibited and have to at least wear business casual clothing. Not many benefits.

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.
