Pros

Diverse company with abundance of lateral and vertical opportunities; overseas opportunities if you desire; decent pay scale comparing to similar financial service companies; good work life balance.

Cons

matrix organization created by inefficient centers of "excellence". Bureaucratic in many areas that creates unnecessary work; Lack of true vision from senior management, more block and tackling and passive reactions. Poor presentation skills throughout, very common to see powerpoint presentation as simple as Excel Copy and paste. way too much restrictions caused partially by regulations, employees are scared of saying what they think.

Pros

Citi is a market leader. As Citi goes, so goes the Financial Markets. Citi is a trend setter. The new Senior Leadership is doing it's best to stem the tide of losses.

Cons

Currently, Citi is going through a major cost cutting initiative. Frequently, this makes employees feel pressure and reduces the moral and ability to WANT to do more. It is completely demotivating. One sees the penny pinching and becomes less and less optimistic that they will be rewarded for what they are doing at the end of the year. Further, Citi is not one company. The various different organizations do not work well together. Frequently, this inability to work together further delays progress and the ability of the organization to turn itself around. This is also impacted by the moral issue raised above as employees with low moral are less likely to go the extra mile to help somebody else out.
