Pros

Profitable business within Citigroup. You will succeed if you follow management leads and complete your tasks quickly.

Cons

Citigroup is not as respected as it used to be. Regular layoffs for over two years and counting. Salaries are lower than competitors. Firm is regularly understaffed so you must work long hours to complete your work.

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.
