Pros

The potential and scope of work is really massive because the company is so large and global. Internal mobility is relatively good.

Cons

It's a culture of bureaucracy and mediocrity where the path of least resistance is taken. This result is a patchwork of quick tactical fixes that unravel faster than it was put together. The overall quality of work is shockingly poor; despite small pockets of senior leaders who know what they are doing. Leaderships lacks subject matter knowledge and do not lean on subject matter experts to help make more informed decisions. Instead of the best ideas winning it becomes a political game of appeasing the most senior person in the room. Feedback goes nowhere really fast! There is a lot of change happening, which in itself is not a problem. However, the direction and execution leaves a lot to be desired.

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.
