Pros

For now, we're one of the few I-banks left, and we're quite committed to surviving. Citi is a large firm with over 350,000 employees, so your happiness will depend on which group you work in. I work across many of the businesses in a support function and find the folks here in general to be smart and helpful.

Cons

I've heard that comp is usually on the low end compared to the Street. But there's not much Street left now, so...... Compensation will vary dramatically depending on location. New York City pays in commiseration with the cost of living. The same position in other areas will vary.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
