Pros

Citigroup offers good compensation compared to my previous job and exposure to a different prespective in a much bigger company. The current management team currently is very understanding of the needs to address personal issues without having to worry about missing meeting / unable to meet deadlines.

Cons

The Politics at Citigroup is very difficult to deal with on a day to day basis. Everyone has an opinion on how to do something and very vocal about their thoughts but at some points it becomes counter productive. This took a long time to sync in for many people.

Pros

I learned a lot in a short period of time. I was offered several training/certification classes that were helpful.

Cons

I was hired in as a "Citiflex" temp even though I did the same work as someone receiving the benefits of being a regular full-time employee. Once I left, I was offered the full time position I had been waiting 6 months for. When I first began, there wasn't really any training period, I was thrown into the position.

Pros

Citi is a nice place for people to work at. People are friendly and share ideas and inforamtion readily. The calibre of people is not the greatest but folks make up for it by being helpful. Bosses are smart People are firendly Hours are long but not insane Ability to move between businesses and globally Stable company in these uncertain markets Growth opportunities are available and so is the ability to learn other businesses Very diverse - is truly a color and gender blind organization Overall great place with nice people

Cons

Low compensation Really mediocre benfits Infrastructure is fragmented and this leads to a lot of difficulty in identifying root causes of issues and problems. THere is a lot of rework in the capital markets side and this leads to breaks and costs. Very few women in higher ranking line positions Poor calibre of people - the average employee is quite average Culture that is fragemented due to its long acquisition history and still has old loyalties (SB vs. Citi vs. Solly) Career paths are not defined but you can see a way up
