      Would not recommend unless you have no choice - AVP-Java Developer Citi Employee Review

      Pros

      Depending on the team could be real good as you can do nothing all year and still get good compensation.

      Cons

      Only 1 group of people, if you are not them then don't even bother, you won't be hired. Long work hours, easily 50-80 hours if you are on a bad team. Management will say this is a good year and made X amount of profit but you will get peanuts

      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.
