Pros

Being in the Summer Analyst program was considered prestigious. Working for Merrill, Goldman, Citigroup or Lazard is a great accomplishment.

Cons

The whole summer analyst program is simply over hyped. Interns don't really make that much and are forced into cold-calling, answering phones and essentially doing b--tch work. You learn very little in terms of finance and struggle to even grasp concepts of what the financial world is really about. Financial Advisers are selling bs advice from above and invest your money without much of a guarantee or foresight. It has given me a very negative opinion on finance

Pros

Strong global platform with exceptional exposure to complex clients, markets, and products. Citi offers significant opportunities to build an international career, work with highly talented professionals, and develop deep expertise in banking and financial services. The global network and breadth of the organization are major differentiators.

Cons

The size and complexity of the organization can create bureaucracy, fragmented decision-making, and lengthy internal processes. Organizational changes and frequent restructuring can also affect continuity, while navigating multiple stakeholders sometimes takes significant time and energy away from clients and business execution.
