Speak to people from the BOTTOM up - get an outside firm to audit the discussion

Worked with smart people that also are willing to work as a team. A lot of learning opportunities and ability to move to different areas within Citi

Good career start for fresh graduates

poor work culture; poor benefit, shitty bonus

be more more professional and recruite more talentes

Pros

If you're a good fit for the corporate culture, it's a very comfortable, friendly, not too challenging place to work

If you're energetic and ambitious, it can be frustrating and unrewarding! Great place for the slow and steady type.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to make changes meaningful to staff - otherwise, it's "ho hum, just another paperwork-generating but meaningless initiative" that creates no real change

Pros

Large firm, impressive history, good benefits and lots of challenges (read: opportunities for those that want to tackle major challenges).

Cons

Large firm, bleak future and lots of internal challenges that management does not want to address directly. It's a cult of personality - within each division - so hard to feel like you are working for one company.

Advice to Senior Management

Leave politics to those in Washington; focus on rebuilding the firm into a single integrated company rather than many fiefdoms. Make profits, pay people more.

too large organization to implement change or new ides

Advice to Senior Management

engage on the ground level

Pros

Flexibility and allowance for work life relationship.
Good atmosphere to work in.
Decent benefits package

Cons

receiving promotions and moving up is extremely hard.
too much competition for honors and awards
not enough recognition and financial awards for good performances
