Pros

Citi has a great franchise, primarily outside the US. Opportunities abound in the market, yet competition challenges the firm daily. The company does pay well, or at least fairly.

Cons

Highly political environment. Advancement fully based on who you know. Rules changes frequently. Management constantly in reactionary mode. Business priorities change too frequently to move forward effectively.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
