Business outlook
Pros
I joined Citi to travel and have moved two locations in the three years have been here. The place is amazingly diverse. Talented, hard working folks who generally know their stuff. There is name recognition and grudging respect in the outside world. Unlike other regional banks, respect for diversity is significant - no glass ceilings.
Cons
Smaller offices (like Dubai) are very ethnically driven and power centres depend on the ethnic background of the local CCO. Levels of competence vary dramatically and the place is top-heavy. Support functions, especially Human Resources are plain incompetent. While the organisation claims to have more programmers than Microsoft, one would never know - hence Tech and Operations are fossilised.
