Pros

Although I worked for outside of United States, many HR recruiters took a look my resume because Citigroup is a really big name. This company will open the door for the another great opportunity.

Cons

HR really doesn't have any power, so this causes unfairness between departments in the company. Now, I moved on to different industry and realized that the Citigroup culture was too aggressive.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
