Vantaggi

It's not a sweatshop. Reasonably accomodating to working from home. Little sense of job paranoia given the financial crisis. Some very capable, intelligent and friendly people.

Svantaggi

Restrictive network policies - IE 6.0 only 'legal' browser, many restricted sites, 'no downloading' policy, all 3rd party software subject to IT dept 'wrapping'. Intra-company communications stuffed with corporate blather. Very little communication/co-operation/sharing between businesses. Employee productivity takes second place to data entitlement restrictions in software development environment.

Vantaggi

Hybrid schedule, supportive managers, opportunities

Svantaggi

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.
