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

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
