Pros

Learning experience was good. Having vibrant people as colleagues are good exposure

Cons

Citi Chennai location is filled with Tamil brahmins and high nepotism exist for hiring and promoting only Tam Brahmins. If you are not Brahmins then one has to be extra skilled in licking HR is dummy Salary looks good but actual calculation drill down will reveal that the basic structure is very poor. Meaning you won't realize when you get cash in hand it just goes in air and the pf accumulation is pretty less due to low basic

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.
