Pros

It is a more laid-back atmosphere, and in most cases provides good work-life balance. Working from home remote is on a more widely accepted.

Cons

Spends considerable effort defeating itself with excessive bureaucracy, and a simple lack of planning, and good decision making. Better execution would result with higher quality people, yet Citi seems to look at IT Talent as a commodity and still relies too-heavily on out-sourcing.

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.
