Pros

A stable, slightly less than market income. A gym. "A good payout to your spouse and kids if you die at work". (An actual quote from a worker there).

Cons

If you love making great software - don't work at Citi. They are a technology company who will figure out they are a technology company right when their market is taken away by competitors who offer a better user experience, higher-quality software and a caring and inclusive culture for their staff. The software development model is Waterfall in drag as Agile, design principles are driven by daddy-knows-best and successful output is measured by adherence to outdated requirements and principles. It may be the case that user lock-in is enough to keep the behemoth alive..but if you want to work in a place where people swallow pills to keep going, have cardiac arrests at work and in which gratitude for a job is supposed to be enough to overlook the glaring organisational flaws - then it may be the place for you.

Pros

Benefits and time off are definitely a plus, very accommodating.

Cons

Great working environment, but you need to be co cern every year when cuts hit. They rate you average if they plan on cutting you and it seems like the cuts are based higher on the older employees that have many years with the company. Growth was non existing, every year it was senior managers are not allowing any promotions even to 2 rating employees for many years.
