Pros

good wlb, wfh benefits choose your manager wisely. there are some who are willing to provide mentorship, others might not in general, most people are friendly and willing to train a new joiner unless if you land in a bad team

Cons

growth depends on team, but largely stagnant if your business unit is not the most profitable in citi. if you have a terrible manager, you should leave ASAP, do not invest more time here. terrible bonus for back office, to the extent that people are willing to quit right before collecting bonus. As compared to other FIs, bonus seems to be on the lower side even for business teams.

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.
