That said I love my citibank checking account - best bank account I've ever had. On the investment banking side, Citi just can't compete with the likes of Goldman Sachs or Morgan as they can't seem to attract the best talent. Citi's credit card offerings are very uninspiring these days. Not bad but I would think they've been losing marketshare relative to other credit card companies. I think in the long run Citibank will get it's act together. The funny thing about layoffs is that it's a problem with management that's usually the cause of the problem, but it's the workforce that suffers.
