Pros

Working in Citi gives employees exposure to lots of different markets and visibility of how a global organisation operates.

Cons

I worked in Citi for a few years. The environment is Dublin is highly political. Junior employees are not treated well - work/life balance doesn't exist. I saw many examples of people being promoted because of who they knew, not because of their ability. Many people are stuck in their current positions with no career prospects internally. Citi works hard to portray a positive image externally, but that's all it is - an image.

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
