Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Citigroup would be the amount of potential exposure you can get to all of the different aspects of banking/financial services.

Cons

Career advancement is poor - there is not much mobility. This is definitely related to the current market conditions, although all other banks are performing at a much better rate. This is a company where if times are good, then things are good. If times are bad like right now, it is quite depressing. The morale is very low as there is no incentive to do any more than your minimal requirements.

Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, on-site cafeteria with many options, on-site gym (fee is approx $15/mo). Nice/newly renovated buildings, with nice amenitites (break room, jump in/out offices for privacy). In general, work-life balance was good, especially being able to work remotely (additionally) as needed.

Cons

They tend to do re-orgs fairly often (every 1.5 years or so), so it can be hard to get promoted within your current role, you should plan on applying for other roles within the firm, at the level you are looking to be promoted to. Must work in office at least 3 days/week starting in 2026, used to be 2 days a week from 2021-2025. Which means parking will be crowded if you don't get there by 9am. Work stations are not reserved, so if you don't get there early enough and if you don't have a co-worker saving you a spot, you might not find a seat in your work area very easily.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
