Pros

I believe that someday Citi will become an efficient and streamlined corporation. When this happens, Citi will truly be a benchmark company to work for. Citi has a footprint in every market and every product. As Citi restructures, there will be much opportunity to make an impact in the future of the company.

Cons

Citi is a tangled beaurocratic and technological mess. This has created a culture where employees are conditioned for process failure, inefficiency and just general complacency. Brain Drain - many of the bank's talent has either left the firm or is making every effort to leave. Future compensation structure is a mystery.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

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
