      OK but can be improved vastly with minimal effort

      Pros

      Exposure to many different kinds of deals and many different business models. By being so broad based and being a primary source of credit Citi gets first look at many, many different deals.

      Cons

      Too political for my taste.

      Big, but not lumbering. Ordered, but not rigid

      Pros

      There are many diverse projects and technologies, which is understandable given the size of the organization. You can be involved in as many technologies as time and interest permit. Even with the turmoil in the financial sector, Citi appears to be fairly stable internally and there is always enough work to keep you busy and engaged. The organizational structure in the Technology side takes a little bit of work to understand, but does make sense. As a contractor, Citi is not in the least stingy in the hours they'll let you work. I have also heard that their alternate work location program allows people to not have to work our of a Citi office, I even know people who work remotely full-time.

      Cons

      There's a lot of work, and I mean a lot. This is ok for contractors, but it has to be hard for employees as they usually don't get comp time or overtime for working more than regular hours. The sheer size of the technology groups can make doing anything seem very slow and like your always getting bogged down in a bureaucracy that doesn't always make sense. Also, as Citi likes to buy other companies, we are always working on integrating acquisitions, so if you expect either things to stay the same or to be able to do things quickly, you're going to have manage your frustration.

      Working for Citibank will give you gray hairs.

      Pros

      There used to be good reasons to work for Citibank but I honestly can't think of one right now. The benefits are good I suppose. Women are granted 100% paid 13 week maternity leave. They have come up with this new comp plan called "Citimax" which is designed to pay people less. Of course, senior management sings its praises.

      Cons

      Micromanagement, micromanagement, micromanagement. Endless firedrills, emails, stupid and ridiculous micromanaged deliverables. It's driving me insane!!!!!! I got screwed out of five grand because management RETROACTIVELY altered the comp plan. Of course, no apologies or hardly even an acknowledgement of how wrong it was.
