Big company, too big to fail, too big to succeed - both as a company, and for the individual employees.

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Citigroup is a big company, there are lots of opportunities to grow if you seek out to them. A person can meet people that he/she never thought existed or learn about things that he/she never heard of.

Cons

Big company, you can easily gotten lost if you are not aggressive. Like everyone else said, you are just a number - or as they put it, a P & L. In business, it's about how much you can bring in. In back office operations and technology, it's all about how many people you "manage". Huge disparity in pay scales depending on your group - in fact, there is no "Citigroup" culture, it's all about the culture of whatever group you wound up in.

$20 billion bailout & you still laid off 50,000 people?

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Global reach. Best resources and the best people. Smart, motivated, and driven. People from all over the world you can tap into and gain knowledge from. The learning was quite good. I was in marketing and I learned more there than any other place I worked before. They know how to market well.

Cons

They put no value on people. Get the work done and increase shareholder value. I tried to find a place in the company where they valued people and was told by HR that Citigroup is not the place to work if this is what I am looking for.

Smith Barney = Good | Citi = Good | Smith Barney + Citi = not as good

Financial advisor (registered representative)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Brand recognition, training, resources, facilities

Cons

Smith Barney definitely suffers from a bit of identity crisis being involved with such a large organization. There are definite redundancies when it comes to wealth management within Citi. This causes a bit of internal competition in some ways. Marketing compliance was an absolute beast to deal with as well.
