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.
Btw, this is for lateraling into the group.
Anyone have any comments?
At least in London many people from Citi Consumer lateraled to Barclays IBD recently.
I heard they pitch a lot because they need to rebuild.. similar to UBS / BAML Other teams aggressively pitch a lot to build e.g. Nomura/Barcap I would say for IBD its probably better to join GS/MS/JPM/CS/DB to focus on deals rather build/rebuild
Thanks guys. Did they lose most of their senior people over the past few years?
what office are you referring at?
the New York office. How large is the group in NYC?
I've heard C+R is one of their top groups. It is also an interesting group in terms of being able to relate to and understand its clients - very straightforward. I'd imagine decent placement at C+R focused PE.
agreed. I heard its strong in London!
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...
Citi's C+R group is one of their strongest groups (and one of the strongest on the street)
Really? I didn't know it was one of best groups on the street. I thought it was middle of pack at best (after GS, JPM, CS for sure). But good to hear that it's a strong group.
Heard good things about the culture of that group. Intra-office basketball games, etc. Strong dealflow, one of Citi's best along with Telecom.
and obviously M&A
What other major deals have they worked on other than Kraft-Cadbury over past few years?

do you have the offer from Citi Consumer Retail? If not, then first concentrate on getting one. It's a BB, so it would def have worked on big deals.

does anyone know anything about that group?
Laid-back folks; low-key.
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?
