The Role
This was an all-round great experience
My colleagues were the best part of my internship
The management team was really approachable
There were some parts of the internship were I didn't have enough work, but over all the hours were extremely well balanced
I was given a substantial amount of responsibility, I felt I was valued in the company
The internship contributed to me improving most of my soft skills
The Company
Extremely friendly and supportive atmosphere, one of the best thing about the itnernship
I felt that there was a lot of thought put into the structure of the internship
I was not offered any training opportunities
Company Parties/Events
The prospect of career progression in Citibank are very positive
The Culture
I really bonded with my fellow interns, it was great fun
Expensive
Canary Wharf is great for afterwork drinks, but not clubbing
There were some opportunities for after work events, I didn't get involved in any of them
