Pros

Great work life balance. Citi encourages people to work from home as necessary and many people do work from home one or two days a week. Some actually work from home and come into the offices only when necessary.

Cons

Department undergoing changes in senior management. Unsure if department will be retained or outsourced. No information is conveyed down to the staff about the future direction of the department.

Salary was good, lots of really really smart people who worked there, great education in financial markets and (was) a blue chip name for resume

Pros

Reputable company-looks good on your resume. A few years before the company started to decline, they had a good work life balance system (6 1/2 day Fridays or 3 whole day Fridays in the summer, birthday off, shopping day in winter). Depending on your department, managers encouraged professional development.

Cons

Extremely political. At the top, promotions based on who is in the clique. Citi has a "throw you under the bus type of culture." Depending on the department you are in, it could be a dead end area where there is no room for advancement or growth. Senior managers at times take all of the credit for the work being done without acknowledging the ones who are processing the work, ie, "the work horses." Senior managers have no real sense of acknowledging true talent in the company.
