Pros

Great benefits. Mostly individual projects. Opportunity to take charge of applications and make yourself into a subject matter expert.

Cons

Teams worry too much about covering their butts and are generally not very helpful unless the task is easy. Too much focus on time and not enough on quality. My manager's often don't know much or care about the intricacies despite the impact they can have. Poor talent pool at times. I work amongst a programming team in which most seemed to have stumbled into programming. They don't have much advanced knowledge. Most don't even know what a linked list is.

Pros

Strong global platform with exceptional exposure to complex clients, markets, and products. Citi offers significant opportunities to build an international career, work with highly talented professionals, and develop deep expertise in banking and financial services. The global network and breadth of the organization are major differentiators.

Cons

The size and complexity of the organization can create bureaucracy, fragmented decision-making, and lengthy internal processes. Organizational changes and frequent restructuring can also affect continuity, while navigating multiple stakeholders sometimes takes significant time and energy away from clients and business execution.
