Pros

Global company with people across many different functions. The very scale of the company would have you believe that there are opportunities about with respect to career development and progression.

Cons

The Citi culture is awful. The people there are very unpleasant and not team players. When you first start out there if you ask someone for help there are very few people actually willing to help you. I was even told that one person couldn't help me because that would take him away fro his own work. There is no consistent onboarding process and you stay in a constant state of ambiguity. The company is run in silos that are almost impenetrable.

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.
