Pros

Work Life Balance in my group was great, people were treated with a lot of respect and the team was very committed

Cons

Too many systems, very unwieldy and bureaucratic. People still thought they worked for Smith Barney and not Citi - which indicates that the culture was not fully assimilated through all the acquisitions

Pros

Opens. A lot of doors, a huge bank with real mobility. Great especially if you are young. And very global, which is exciting.

Cons

Can feel uncompetitive towards other bulge brackets at times, especially vs JPM, service and ops is incredibly painful, almost feels like you have to leave and come back to get paid market rate if possible at all. Its also IB vs everything else makes the bank feel two tiered.
