    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Internship was very enjoyable throughout everyone involved in Citi made an effort to make it the best it could be. HR ran a series of enjoyable events and talks for interns (but one does run until 19:45) on a wide range of finance related topics.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Citi employees are generally incredibly friendly and helpful. The team I was was on made every effort to include me.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Manager was generally very busy and so only able to provide limited support and guidance but that which was given was excellent.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Did not have any work for the first fortnight of the internship (had 3 days training + online training which took between 1/2 day and 3 days depending on your reading speed.) I was generally under-worked but was very busy (needed to come in on weekend and work till 9 one night) during the last fortnight of the internship due to the need to produce 2 presentations plus self evaluation plus normal work.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given useful work. Enabled Citi to meet a regulatory objective.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
