Pros

lifestyle pretty collegial atmosphere large platform with very intelligent client base which makes it easy to jump ship to better opportunities

Cons

the company doesn't really promote much from within in a number of divisions. They would rather bring in outside talent even when it is clear that someone internally is more qualified. THis has to do more with internal politics as well as the senior people don't want to lose their best worker.

Pros

Hybrid schedule right out of “training” and FT WFH privilege came much faster than expected. There are some great benefits. Job confidence as

Cons

Training was a waste of Citi’s money and a train wreck. Facilitator was all over the place. Normally there’s a flow to training, there was no flow and it was all over the place. OJT felt like sinking or swimming.
