Pros

Prestige - that's about it...for now. Citi is weathering this financial storm in a mediocre manner. If it does not improve soon it will be another Lehman Brothers. Senior Management and higher ups feel the only way to "improve" is to cut analysts and higher VERY few people. Next year's analyst class is going to have a rough time because the Ops work is BORING AS ANYTHING. I want to get the hell out of here.

Cons

The culture is very disconnected, it is hard to make relations and senior management is unapproachable. ALso, exit opps are not great as well.

Pros

For now, we're one of the few I-banks left, and we're quite committed to surviving. Citi is a large firm with over 350,000 employees, so your happiness will depend on which group you work in. I work across many of the businesses in a support function and find the folks here in general to be smart and helpful.

Cons

I've heard that comp is usually on the low end compared to the Street. But there's not much Street left now, so...... Compensation will vary dramatically depending on location. New York City pays in commiseration with the cost of living. The same position in other areas will vary.

Pros

Very fast paced work environment, able to learn different things, whether within one group, job posting to other groups, or involuntary reorgs.

Cons

Senior mgmt decision making process very "shoot from the hip"; constantly changing priorities mainly due to indecision; extremely political environment; extremely difficult to advance with constant hiring of outsiders into senior positions.
