Pros

Citigroup is a big company, there are lots of opportunities to grow if you seek out to them. A person can meet people that he/she never thought existed or learn about things that he/she never heard of.

Cons

Big company, you can easily gotten lost if you are not aggressive. Like everyone else said, you are just a number - or as they put it, a P & L. In business, it's about how much you can bring in. In back office operations and technology, it's all about how many people you "manage". Huge disparity in pay scales depending on your group - in fact, there is no "Citigroup" culture, it's all about the culture of whatever group you wound up in.

Pros

Benefits & pay are competitive. Not the top in the industry, but good. Excellent opportunities for professional development for people who are self-starters and motivated to learn.

Cons

Business leaders use all the popular buzzwords and phrasing to assure you the business is leading the industry, but in practice Senior Leadership is hanging on to archaic business strategies like their lives depend on it.
