CIti Consumer & Retail Group Overview

I know there's been some mention about the Citi's Consumer & Retail banking group on here, but no concrete information on this forum. Does anyone have information on the pros/cons of the group, what areas the group covers, size of the group, etc? How is the culture within the group?

While I understand it's not the best industry coverage group at Citi b/c of lots of turnover at the MD ranks during the economic downturn, I've heard the group is still fairly busy. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Citi's C+R worked on Kraft-Cadbury I think (I was interviewed by someone at Citi C+R who worked on that deal).

I was also interviewed by a really nice VP (girl) who worked on the Kraft-Cadbury deal for 3 years...

not sure if you work for Citi Mis Ind, but I've heard the total opposite.....intense, anal senior bankers, with cutthroat culture....although i've heard the group is top-notch....

in terms of consumer/retail groups i'd rate them as follows:

1) GS

decent drop

2) UBS 3) lehman 4) citi

anyone care to chime in?
