Pros

There are no pros worth highlighting.

Cons

Awful management, awful work-life balance and poor salary for what is expected of you. Expect to work well above your contracted hours unpaid and be thankful Citi gave you the opportunity to do so. Long onboarding process, little training and expected to work everything out yourself. Management are belittling and took enjoyment in humiliating staff, don’t expect support no matter what they say. I have no idea how people work there for long periods. A toxic work environment that’s rife with bullying and favouritism. If management dislike you, they will make it their mission to make your time there difficult. No job security and an ongoing threat of job losses. I don’t recommend this company at all.

Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, on-site cafeteria with many options, on-site gym (fee is approx $15/mo). Nice/newly renovated buildings, with nice amenitites (break room, jump in/out offices for privacy). In general, work-life balance was good, especially being able to work remotely (additionally) as needed.

Cons

They tend to do re-orgs fairly often (every 1.5 years or so), so it can be hard to get promoted within your current role, you should plan on applying for other roles within the firm, at the level you are looking to be promoted to. Must work in office at least 3 days/week starting in 2026, used to be 2 days a week from 2021-2025. Which means parking will be crowded if you don't get there by 9am. Work stations are not reserved, so if you don't get there early enough and if you don't have a co-worker saving you a spot, you might not find a seat in your work area very easily.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
