Citi Response8yThank you for your review. Providing our employees with work life balance is a priority at Citi. We understand that balancing both a professional career and making room for personal needs is demanding so we offer flexible work arrangement opportunities for our teams. We recommend having an open conversation with your manager to determine an arrangement that works best for you.
- 3.0Apr 24, 2015Anonymous EmployeeFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsPhila, PA
Pros
Great opportunity to work in a global, large scale and impactful bank. Lots of smart, driven people and enterprise level systems.
Cons
Work life balance was a challenge to manage due to the amount of work and demanding production environment. Very top down environment where decisions made did not always seem to 'make sense' for the business units.

Investment banking pays well, opportunity to learn a lot about corporate finance in a short period of time

Not possible to be good at the job and have much / if any work life balance
1 - 4.0Oct 25, 2017InternFormer Intern, less than 1 yearManama
Pros
Able to build up the career steps and 100 percent self motivated environment. Get chance to learn alot while working on a real world problem.
Cons
Nothing to say about this bcz tried to convert all the cons to pros and worked towards it. Work life life balance is not easy to maintain but again it purely depends on the individual
- 3.0Mar 30, 2021Vice PresidentCurrent EmployeeBelfast, Northern Ireland
Pros
Variety of work, global presence, working with good people. Opportunities to rotate and move to new roles internally. Good additional benefits - annual bonus, pension, BUPA private health
Cons
Lip service to work / life balance and promoting females to senior positions in certain teams. No financial support or equipment provided to work from home during covid - not even a laptop. Recruitment process both externally and internally can be painfully long
1 - 4.0Jan 1, 2019MaharastraCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsPune
Pros
Lots of vacations in India Decent salary Flexibility to move to other projects after 18 months.

In some of the projects the deadlines are unrealistic which screws up your work life balance.

Pros
Great people and environment. Loved my whole team and I've met some really great talent there.
Cons
The pay is definitely lower than other big banks out there and upper management does not have appreciation for all of their employees. Work life balance wasn't really there and they could do a better job with encouraging professional development.
- 4.0Oct 7, 2012Assistant ManagerCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearSurat
Pros
Great global brand image, good values and culture,good career growth,performance based career growth,internal opportunities for shift in career.Fairly good pay and benefits.Flexibility in terms of time though that also depends on role.
Cons
Work life balance is difficult as working hours tend to get stretched especially at month ends. Expense claiming is also tougher than elsewhere.

Pros
Great people to work with, really interesting work and clients. Constantly changing and looking to improve. Great Career opportunities for those who work hard

Work life balance is hard to find but something the company is actively working on. Huge company so often change is not as quick as it could be but the company is constantly trying to find innovative ways to improve that
