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.

Pros

Benefits and time off are definitely a plus, very accommodating.

Cons

Great working environment, but you need to be co cern every year when cuts hit. They rate you average if they plan on cutting you and it seems like the cuts are based higher on the older employees that have many years with the company. Growth was non existing, every year it was senior managers are not allowing any promotions even to 2 rating employees for many years.
