Pros

Citigroup has a large network and there are many opportunities for advancemenet across divisions within the company.

Cons

LOTS of bureaucracy. Also, the feedback wasn't always great. People who weren't doing so well were never told explicitly. More transparency would have helped. I feel like many times my boss gave me things to do soley for the purposes of keeping me busy. Many of the projects had little to no added value. Furthermore, as a junior person within the company I was asked to do some extremely tedious, non-business related tasks. One time a more senior employee gave me a bunch of receipts for his personal expenses and asked me to create a spreadsheet.

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.
