Pros

Working in Citi gives employees exposure to lots of different markets and visibility of how a global organisation operates.

Cons

I worked in Citi for a few years. The environment is Dublin is highly political. Junior employees are not treated well - work/life balance doesn't exist. I saw many examples of people being promoted because of who they knew, not because of their ability. Many people are stuck in their current positions with no career prospects internally. Citi works hard to portray a positive image externally, but that's all it is - an image.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
