Pros

Smart people, driven environment High level of accountability Awesome benefits-- 100% employer paid health, dental, vision. The best I've had in my career.

Cons

Hard to have a life outside of work (but this is true of the industry, not just Citadel) Management tries hard but can be hit-or-miss at times Very political within departments, even though they strive not to be
