Pros

The firm is number 1 or 2 in most of the businesses in which it operates, giving its employees access to the most sophisticated clients,significant deal flow and unmatched internal resources.

Cons

The downsides are well publicized: a behemoth of 250,000 people sometimes uncoordinated, sometime competing against each other, and (so far) lacking the internal risk control necessary to keep our heads above water when things get tough.

Pros

You will be challenged and given opportunities to show your leadership. Professional advancement opportunities are available, but you have to seek them. If you're lucky enough to have a seasoned manager, he/she will show guide you through the Citigroup jungle, and help empower your career. Flexible work-life balance, if you schedule and communicate well with your management is possible.

Cons

Excessive regulatory and audit scrutiny drain resources from more productive projects. You have to take charge of your schedule early on, else you will be a blackberry (aka crackberry) slave. Some evidence of old school, micromanagers still exist, although senior management is working hard to change that culture.
