      The current financial climate is not showing Citi at its best

      Pros

      The company is so big that there are many opportunities to obtain a varied work experience. They company is also very good about providing training, both ongoing and new skill development. You are also working for a company with international cachet.

      Cons

      It is easy to get lost in the shuffle. Here, the size plays to the company's detriment. One could easily feel like a cog in the machine, dehumanizing one's belief in one's self worth. There also isn't much corporate sense of loyalty. This is probably pretty true of most large corporations, but consequently, it leads to less loyalty among the employees as well.

      Pros

      The best reason to work for Citigroup was the ability to to work in different locations. The company is so huge you can work pretty much in any country if you have the desire to do so. Diversity related to this is also a plus in the company. The diversity is huge in the company. The benefits were also pretty good. The 401k match is decent as long as you don't invest in Citi and their insurance costs seemed about 20% cheaper than others that are relatively the same insurance plan. I appreciated them offering a good Health Savings Account plan. Their domestic partner benefits are also very liberal.

      Cons

      Citi is a bureaucratic nightmare. It starts with a vague set of marching orders called the shared responsibilities. The Shared Responsibilities have to be read and signed by all employees, then they are never discussed after that. The potential in the company is enormous. Instead of unlocking all the potential in the company it is squandered protecting fiefdoms and covering up mistakes. Besides all the people who have almost wrecked the whole company and banking industry creating and having risky derivatives, the company is way too risk adverse. This makes the spirit of initiative and teamwork not exist at the company.

      A company needs to be half in size and double in profit.

      Pros

      Nikko Citigroup has a vast and strong client base in Japan. It is a large organization and leads in many deals every year. This could be a place to get some hands on experience on some complex and messy financial systems.

      Cons

      Management is not efficient and competent. More people than required. Need to be trimmed in size and be efficient in operations.
