Citi has lost its' sheen

assistant vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I joined Citi to travel and have moved two locations in the three years have been here. The place is amazingly diverse. Talented, hard working folks who generally know their stuff. There is name recognition and grudging respect in the outside world. Unlike other regional banks, respect for diversity is significant - no glass ceilings.

Cons

Smaller offices (like Dubai) are very ethnically driven and power centres depend on the ethnic background of the local CCO. Levels of competence vary dramatically and the place is top-heavy. Support functions, especially Human Resources are plain incompetent. While the organisation claims to have more programmers than Microsoft, one would never know - hence Tech and Operations are fossilised.

Pros

Branches worldwide so you can find career anywhere. Diverse opportunites. Numerous departments etc to find the right fit.

Cons

The negative press right now. Working for Smith Barney which was sold and then purchased by Morgan Stanley and the changes that brings.

Citi - Potential for greatness, but paralyzed like a wooly mammoth stuck in a tar pit

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I believe that someday Citi will become an efficient and streamlined corporation. When this happens, Citi will truly be a benchmark company to work for. Citi has a footprint in every market and every product. As Citi restructures, there will be much opportunity to make an impact in the future of the company.

Cons

Citi is a tangled beaurocratic and technological mess. This has created a culture where employees are conditioned for process failure, inefficiency and just general complacency. Brain Drain - many of the bank's talent has either left the firm or is making every effort to leave. Future compensation structure is a mystery.
