Pros

Apparently, Citi has a decent benefits package, but that's just about it. Other than that, there's not much going for it.

Cons

It's a totally thankless job. Quality of work means nothing. it's a huge bureaucracy where at least 70% of your efforts go into covering your bottom or battling the red tape imposed by other departments who are covering their's.

Good salary, although numerous redundancies took place over 12 months to reduce costs

Cons

Very often promotion was based on personality and being a yes person rather than the work output of individuals

Pros

#You learn the nuts and bolts of business/microsoft software fairly quickly on the job which is helpful going forward #Exciting for a few years, then you become wiser of the work distracting politics that the place is riddled with

Cons

#Terrible and corrosive company culture. Highly inefficient in every way and treats employees with absolutely no respect #No work life balance #Business lines are not motivated properly, only MD level are (and they don't do any of the work!)
