Pros

Citi has a great work/ life balance with a flexible work schedule. There is a young and fun corporate culture.

Cons

Compensation is very poor. Promotions are given without salary increases. Decisions made are from so many levels above that they don't make practical sense when applied. The company is full of overpaid managers that do very little to contribute to the bottom line while the first three levels of positions are considered expendable.
