Pros

I had many good reasons 10 years ago...

Cons

Complete disregard for employees. Deep employee distrust in upper management - the main reason the company is not likely to recover any time soon. Upper management extremely out of touch with the rest of company Human resources function like company's law firm Citi has instilled a corporate culture where mediocrity and futility are empowered at expense of talent and new ideas. The company has gotten too big to be managed effectively. There was a feeling that senior management had no idea my unit existed.

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.
