Pros

The worst experience that I had in my 12 years IT experience - CRAP env

Cons

I worked in Warren ,NJ - Most of them are dump people including managers/SVP - everyday they think about saving their job not to work effectively. If you are really motivated & want to achive/work good for the company - you are the target for the dump managers. i have seen only very few good techie/talent people , But all were sick because of these dump/political crap managers&perople. So, atleast I tried to bring these things to the top level to justify that getting every month salary from Citi. But, you might wonder - I figured out that SVP knew all the crap and that person also part of these dirty things. I didn't give up - brought this to Director level - man...can't belive - the most idiotic guy that i have ever met in my life. I don't understand how these guys getting salary from company without shame. From the money only, they are growing their kids & all other stuff. how come one can be good without working loaylly to the company that paid out for all your life good. now, you might have figured out what I did next - yes - got other 2 good offers from top notch company - choose one and left peacefully. But, still I feel guilty for not doing any good for Citi - I wonder how this kind of big company survive with crap people from top to bottom. God only can help.

Pros

Opens. A lot of doors, a huge bank with real mobility. Great especially if you are young. And very global, which is exciting.

Cons

Can feel uncompetitive towards other bulge brackets at times, especially vs JPM, service and ops is incredibly painful, almost feels like you have to leave and come back to get paid market rate if possible at all. Its also IB vs everything else makes the bank feel two tiered.
