Pros

Global reach. Best resources and the best people. Smart, motivated, and driven. People from all over the world you can tap into and gain knowledge from. The learning was quite good. I was in marketing and I learned more there than any other place I worked before. They know how to market well.

Cons

They put no value on people. Get the work done and increase shareholder value. I tried to find a place in the company where they valued people and was told by HR that Citigroup is not the place to work if this is what I am looking for.

Pros

Benefits and time off are definitely a plus, very accommodating.

Cons

Great working environment, but you need to be co cern every year when cuts hit. They rate you average if they plan on cutting you and it seems like the cuts are based higher on the older employees that have many years with the company. Growth was non existing, every year it was senior managers are not allowing any promotions even to 2 rating employees for many years.
