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

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
