Pros

Good brand name, better compensation then most of the local banks, friendly worker environment, steady workplace if you like, in-house trainings. Also it is easier to find jobs in market after getting labeled as a "previous employee of Citibank". Although the group got smaller, currently it is reorganizing itself, so the change yields to new opportunities to show yourself and go further. If you are interested in a career in banking & finance, Citigroup provides a solid name and opportunities for the ones who wants further in area...

Cons

less opportunity to move further, bigger than it should be, senior managements failures in decisions, unnecessary long bureaucracy, rivalry for power between departments (which encumbers the speed of process), unnecessary outsourcing, not enough planning

Pros

large company with a lot of growth potential. I am on the bottem rung right now but i totally believe I can work my way up to a well paying job here. Management seems to respect us. I do get to see actual benefits from my position on the rest of the company. A lot of career mobility once you reach some of the higher levels within the company.

Cons

so large of a company that you can get lost amid the people here. A lot of process to get things done. It is frustrating to see the unneccesary expenses that this company has.

Pros

There are many different career paths, and managment for the most part is good about allowing employess to move around to gain experience. There are opportunities to move geographically as well. There are some divisions that are definitely more pleasant to work in than others (the more highly regarded areas like Collections, Risk, Customer Service). If you are mobile, most people should be able to find a job that they enjoy doing for awhile, while adding tremendously to your resume.

Cons

Company still operates in silos (every division has its own finance group, technology group, hr, etc). Any attempt to consolidate functiions and create synergies is met with resistance. There is no accountability and senior execs can be unreasonably demanding, expecting instant results on projects that might take weeks or months. This appears to be the result of Sr VPs moving laterally to gain experience, and then instantly trying to 'make their mark' before understanding the business. High performers generally bear the burden of handling the difficult or unwanted side projects/issues that crop up during the course of regular business (projects that don't get recognition, but need to be done for the business to operate efficiently).
