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.

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.

Pros

Big company experience, room for movement.

Cons

Employees can be stagnated as more experienced but low performing employees move up the ranks while less experience and more talented employeed have to wait in the wings. There is no meritocracy.
