You will be challenged, and hopefully rewarded.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You will be challenged and given opportunities to show your leadership. Professional advancement opportunities are available, but you have to seek them. If you're lucky enough to have a seasoned manager, he/she will show guide you through the Citigroup jungle, and help empower your career. Flexible work-life balance, if you schedule and communicate well with your management is possible.

Cons

Excessive regulatory and audit scrutiny drain resources from more productive projects. You have to take charge of your schedule early on, else you will be a blackberry (aka crackberry) slave. Some evidence of old school, micromanagers still exist, although senior management is working hard to change that culture.

Welcome to Citi!

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the biggest and prestigious global firm. Great internal mobility (both global and countrywide) to advance your career and opportunity to try out different areas/groups without having to switch firms. Relatively a much better work life balance compared to other financial firms. Good people, encouragement to volunteer, diversity etc. Benefits especially healthcare may not be as good as the jersey pharma firms but they are comparable to financial firms in the NY metro area.

Cons

Due to the diversified portfolio of business you don't get the upside in a bull market as you would working for a pure IB. At the same time it is better to be diversified in the current environment.

Pros

Working at Citigroup provides employees with great experience in the financial services field. It is a great item for one's resume and possesses a measure of prestige. Benefits are good. Tuition reimbursement and 401k contribution matching are examples of employee incentives.

Cons

It is a difficult place to get into and once in the door, advancement is extremely difficult. Professionalism is very important so the atmosphere isn't very relaxed.
