The Role
I really enjoyed my time at Citi; most, if not all the people I interacted with were friendly and willing to help when they had a moment to.
I received more guidance than I expected from a number of people who I sat with.
Depends. Some days I had a lot of work, other days I did not have much to work on.
I was given a lot of responsibility because most of the tasks I initially did mattered to the desk I was on.
Being persistent, being able to withstand long hours and preserve are all skills that will help me with my degree.
The Company
Depends on the day. On average it was fine.
Quite well organised; possibly could have had more to do.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Very appealing,
The Culture
Very sociable group.
I lived at home so I had no issues, and the area I live in has several events.
The nightlife was ok. Several pubs/bars around,
