Pros

Prestige, market position and quality of the work colleagues was a key benefit of working at Citi. The firm's market dominance in the corporate fixed income, equities and M&A markets allowed me to work on high-profile transactions with the world's premier clients.

Cons

Chaotic management environment. I was with Citigroup and its predecessor firm, Salomon Brothers, for over five years. While the management of the Investment Bank was dominated by executives of the former Salomon franchise, there were numerous executive changes, which coincided with a severe market downturn.

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.
