Pros

The work culture is collaborative, and teams are supportive. There are ample opportunities to upskill with internal training programs. Benefits and job security are solid compared to many other companies.

Cons

Processes can sometimes feel slow due to the size of the organization. Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approvals, which can delay execution. Compensation growth may not always match market standards. Work-life balance can vary depending on the project and manager.

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.
