Pros

Great People and an enjoyable, fairly relaxed atmosphere on any given day -- (when the "cons" aren't working against you". The work is interesting and challenging.

Cons

Unpredictable workload resulting in existing staff having to "power through" any heavy months of activity. The idea of an 8 hour day doesn't exist the last two weeks of any month... just too much to do and not enough time to do it. This "maximizing efficiency" approach can start to feel like your full time salaried position is a definite disadvantage, resulting in earning less and less per hour.

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.
