Pros

Global reach. Best resources and the best people. Smart, motivated, and driven. People from all over the world you can tap into and gain knowledge from. The learning was quite good. I was in marketing and I learned more there than any other place I worked before. They know how to market well.

Cons

They put no value on people. Get the work done and increase shareholder value. I tried to find a place in the company where they valued people and was told by HR that Citigroup is not the place to work if this is what I am looking for.

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
