Pros

There was a good work/life balance in the division I was in. Not all areas of Citigroup have this balance, although they do try to accomodate people where they can. Working at Citigroup teaches you to deal with bureaucracy and find your way through a maze of disconnected information to get an answer. While this is also a downside of Citi, it can help turn a negative (bureacracy) into a positive.

Cons

Bureaucracy. Lack of consistent, knowledgeable leadership. Very political.

A cut-throat environment that makes Somalian pirates look like good guys.

Pros

Structured environment, regular pay (if you can survive the layoffs) good benefits.

Cons

Working there used to be about the customers and employees. The merger with Travelers turned it into the mess it is in now. Now it is all about senior management and how much money everyone in the company could make for them. It has become a very cut-throat environment, where the more sadistic you are, the better the rewards. HR was never about protecting the employees from poor management, they were all about protecting themselves.

Pros

Prestigious name brand and great learning experience. Vikram Pandit seems to be working hard to turn the company around and if you can survive the cut off, it's a great place to learn about the markets. The atmosphere in the Private Wealth Management division was not too cutthroat and as with most places, there are sociable people as well as the few bad apples.

Cons

The culture has an "every man for himself (or every woman for herself)" mentality so if you want a collaborative atmosphere, this isn't the place to be. As with all banks right now, they are in an unstable state so that's also something to keep in mind.
