      Bureaucracy and controls overkill - Assistant Vice President Citi Employee Review

      2.0

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      One of the too-big-to-fail banks (for now), and there's a lot of ambition? (but not much thought and resources to match up to it)

      Cons

      Too many controls in place and that limits development and progress of business/projects; forever on a cost cutting drive; doesn't value employee welfare and work/life balance at all.

      Long hours and no work life balance which is ok

      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.
