Pros

large company, easy to slack off and no one will find out

Cons

on fi trading floor, very much an 'old boy network. you scratch my back, i scratch your back. ppl who were involved in the subprime/cdo crisis were not laid off. no one from in-business or independent risk was really touched. that just means that these are fluff jobs with no real power or oversight.

Pros

Hybrid schedule right out of “training” and FT WFH privilege came much faster than expected. There are some great benefits. Job confidence as

Cons

Training was a waste of Citi’s money and a train wreck. Facilitator was all over the place. Normally there’s a flow to training, there was no flow and it was all over the place. OJT felt like sinking or swimming.
