Pros

Good name recognition on resume. Good place to start but not great for career because it was a satellite office.

Cons

Revolving door at higher management, no consistency in direction, lower level people end up cleaning up the mess left by top management. Always thinks customer is king but do not care for employees. Middle management people were good but were constrained by corporate policies.

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.
