Business outlook
Pros
Citi is a place to learn the craft of banking, within whatever profession one works in, for me, I became both an executive and a talented architect for technology while I was there. It has a smart work force, all dedicated to doing a good job. It has sufficient power in the world, so that a person can build a great external network.
Cons
It suffers great paternalistic centralized control, which leads to an arrogance in which the best ideas from below, and from the regions are not given sufficient weight. This leads to frustration in the work force, poor results for the business, and great nepotism in the work place. Most folks I know at citi are simply getting a pay check, hoping things will get better.
