Pros

The worst experience that I had in my 12 years IT experience - CRAP env

Cons

I worked in Warren ,NJ - Most of them are dump people including managers/SVP - everyday they think about saving their job not to work effectively. If you are really motivated & want to achive/work good for the company - you are the target for the dump managers. i have seen only very few good techie/talent people , But all were sick because of these dump/political crap managers&perople. So, atleast I tried to bring these things to the top level to justify that getting every month salary from Citi. But, you might wonder - I figured out that SVP knew all the crap and that person also part of these dirty things. I didn't give up - brought this to Director level - man...can't belive - the most idiotic guy that i have ever met in my life. I don't understand how these guys getting salary from company without shame. From the money only, they are growing their kids & all other stuff. how come one can be good without working loaylly to the company that paid out for all your life good. now, you might have figured out what I did next - yes - got other 2 good offers from top notch company - choose one and left peacefully. But, still I feel guilty for not doing any good for Citi - I wonder how this kind of big company survive with crap people from top to bottom. God only can help.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
