    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I thoroughly enjoyed this insight programme. It exceeded all expectations I had.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt like I belonged in the team, everyone was so so friendly. I didn’t feel like I was troubling anyone and felt everyone wanted to help me.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • The guidance I got during the programme was phenomenal. I was assigned my own buddy and team to work in, being the only intern in this team allowed me to get all the guidance and support I needed.

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

    • The information I could potentially lead me into a career for the rest of my life. However, I think it is hard to develop such skills in just a week.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • I loved the structure of the insight, it made me feel like I was actually working at Citi, whilst still having workshops and talks to inform us.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • I cannot fault the atmosphere of the banking floor I was on. Everyone was friendly, helpful and understanding. I felt completely at ease.

    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They invested everything they could into me in the space of a week. I don’t feel they could have given me better personal training.

    5/5
  • 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?

    • Again they couldn’t have done this better in the space of a week, I felt like I was actually working there. The only thing is you can’t tell what it’s like to work in other divisions.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • I completely understood that Citi is a friendly, global bank. They pride themselves on this and that’s why the evnvironment is such a nice place to work and learn in.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • The insight allowed me to see that I could see myself working there and that the division I picked was for me.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • Citi covered everything.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • The networking was amazing, we even had chance to network with senior members which I never ever expected.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • The social events were well planned and allowed the other interns to get to know each other.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • I asked my buddy about this and apart from the gym I didn’t really understand there to be many. However this isn’t surprising with the long hours they are working.

    2/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • 100%!!!! I am amazed at how positive the internship was. I think it will be invaluable to my future career.
