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.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
