    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I thought the days were well structured there was never a time were I felt there wasn't something happening or going on. The only thing i would say the first day was a lot of information to take in and al lot of time spent on power points and presentations, some of the presentations overlapped aswell.

    3/5

  • 3/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • It showed me what the real world is like, and that its completely different to how University and the way you are taught and how you use different applications.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Previously I did not know much about citi but by the end of the first day I had a greater understanding of who the company is, what they do and what tools and technology they use in order to make there job easier/better. As the days went on we got to take an insight into specific departments which should me the different areas that me as a student could potential branch to.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Everyday I felt had great content and was interesting to hear all the different specific department presentations for technology. The only issue was day one was a lot of information to be taking into at once and was a lot of information overload personally, could have been broken up as the tech people were having to listen to presentations based on operations.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I feel that travel expenses could have been reimbursed but personally it did not bother me as I travelled on the train but it was still costly for 4 days in to belfast and back out.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • A number of different people came to see us, which was great hearing about all the different department and job roles that citi actually has. It gave a broader look into the company, I feel that getting to talk to students especially on the placement year or coming out of the grad scheme was a real eye opener as you got so many different opinions and it helped me gain a better judgement on whether a placement there would be best for me and to consider other options after uni such as the grad scheme

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • was only there for a short period of time so i did not partake in network/social events

    3/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I found out about all the different socities and clubs they run as a company, which was great

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • yes I would 100% recommened this to anybody!

    5/5
