Cons

Human resources makes unattainable requirements to advance, in order to get a decent raise you have to leave the firm, favoritism exists in every department, people aren't rewarded based on performance, promotions are given to management's pets

Pros

Citi offers very generous benefits packages, with opportunities to earn additional incentive based on performance. It is generally a positive atmosphere and very laid back.

Cons

Environment is too casual for an office. Managers are not given necessary levels of control to keep staff accountable, which staff is aware of. Poor overall communication

Pros

Great Benefits - Health Insurance is outstanding, 401K still matches at 4% Interesting Work - You are working on some of the biggest problems in business today Good Work/Life Balance - At least in my part of the organization anyway (front-end consumer) Genuinely nice people - Again, can't speak for all the organization (its huge) but I found most people to genuinely nice and helpful

Cons

No Advancement Opportunities - The place has officially died for any sort of advancement opportunity Schizophrenic Personality - The organization may decide to react one way then completely change its mind in six months Large Bureaucracy - Lots of COE (Centers of Excellence, more commonly known as functions outside Citi, ie silos) that do not work well together or at all. Slow to Move - Getting anything done in the organizations takes a Herculean effort most times
