Pros

Good network of Citi staff worldwide

Cons

New transformation agenda is killing employee morale and does not seem to be addressing lack of client-centric approach. It looks like the leadership cares more about the share price than its clients. Employees genuinely care for clients but are not given the resources to help clients and generate ambitious revenue targets set by management. A real vicious circle. Too many internal committees and meetings that are often prioritized vs client meetings. People get mad if you prioritize a client meeting vs an internal call. Additional Risk and Control is killing the business as they act more like a police looking for issues everywhere instead of actually helping. Lack of empathy from leadership who does not care whatsoever anout employee wellbeing. Voice of Employee survey is the most useless exercise as employee concerns are always rebutted by Management, citing internal constraints. Overall, not a good place to work anymore due to contradicting agenda from management and their lack of empathy and extreme focus on the share price vs clients.

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.
