Pros

Nikko Citigroup has a vast and strong client base in Japan. It is a large organization and leads in many deals every year. This could be a place to get some hands on experience on some complex and messy financial systems.

Cons

Management is not efficient and competent. More people than required. Need to be trimmed in size and be efficient in operations.

Pros

Hybrid schedule, supportive managers, opportunities

Cons

Once you’re in, comp basically plateaus. Layoffs are happening across the board, which tends to be the full-time culture of citi. The vibe is very much “run lean” until something actually breaks, and only then consider adding headcount. You have to be intentional about protecting your work-life balance, because the implicit expectation is that you’re always on—24/7, 365—without the support of a properly staffed team.
