Pros

There was a good work/life balance in the division I was in. Not all areas of Citigroup have this balance, although they do try to accomodate people where they can. Working at Citigroup teaches you to deal with bureaucracy and find your way through a maze of disconnected information to get an answer. While this is also a downside of Citi, it can help turn a negative (bureacracy) into a positive.

Cons

Bureaucracy. Lack of consistent, knowledgeable leadership. Very political.

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.
