Since I'll probably be much closer to work in NYC, it'll be more practical at least distance-wise. How's the program been managed, otherwise?
Unfortunately, the thing about Citi Bike is that it's still only in phase 1. The lower half of Manhattan and northwest portion of Brooklyn have good coverage, but the rest of the city has no stations yet.

There's a Citi Bike app available for both iOS and Android.
