Pros

The salaries are competitive and they go the extra mile for women, minorities, and international employees.

Cons

The political culture is deeply embedded. People only want to hear that everything is going well.

Decent, but look elsewhere first.

Pros

It is usually a stable company, but as of late it has not been so much. So, the reasons are going away fast. There is generally a comfortable work environment, lunch room in the building and mandatory breaks and lunches, which you do not get in a lot of companies. I would say citi is a good place to work for, but I would also look in other areas.

Cons

Chances for layoff, poor potential to move up. Often poor management due to the size of the company. A lot of unhappy employees due to reasons I stated above. Salary could be better and more on par with other companies.

Pros

Good company. Well compensated with great time-off and other benifits. Work/Life balance seems to be important to the management and is greatly appreciated by the employees. If you are looking for a place to settle in for a long career and are flexiable with switching groups from time to time, it can be a great place to work. Other perks include a casual enviornment, and flexiable hours and the ability to work from home if necessary. Most managers take the stance of as long as the work gets done, that's all that matters, so clock-watching by the managers isn't a big problem.

Cons

Company is large to the point where it is sometimes hard to be noticed outside of 1 or 2 levels above your level. Information regarding changes in the orginization or similar happenings are often poorly communicated to the employees. It can be easy to get stuck in your current position and be overlooked for promotions and raises. Ratings are given on a curve so this further inhibits the ability to get a raise or promotion unless you force their hand. Obviously at this point in time (Feb 2009) it can be somewhat nerve-racking when your company is in the news every day, but I think if you are in the right group, there is a long term future at the company.
