    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed the program a lot. I think there was a great balance between networking and doing actual work.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Of course, it is difficult for a company to make interns feel valuable as we can only contribute very limited. However, I think that the graduate team did a great job in making sure that we felt valued at all times.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • I received a lot of guidance and support from all parts of City. Especially, a big thanks to the graduate team, which was always very openminded and ready to help whatever issues we might had.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • In advance, I was very determined about which degree I want. However, the stay did to some degree convince me that my choice is correct.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Very well structured. I can not find any negative things to say about this. Absolutely perfect.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was surprisingly fantastic. Not only did the graduate team and the other interns contribute to a good environment so did the current employees.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I got some fun things to do for the team in which I was placed. However, I would have liked to get some more work from other sides of the department. On the flip side of the coin, I also understand that this might be difficult to plan as we can only contribute very little to the work. Therefore, my expectations were highly met.

    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?
  • Because we were a part of a team I think that the interns receive a good impression of how it is to work for Citi. I liked that.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • It is difficult to get a complete understanding of the firm's culture, however, taking the time constraint into consideration I am positively surprised.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It was very helpful. As I spook to a lot of people from different areas and desk I got a better understanding of the different responsibilities within the company. It improved my understanding of which areas I find more interesting than others.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Very good network events. In addition, I liked that the graduate team kind of pushed us to speak with other employees, if we not accomplished that so far in an event. Thumps up to the team again!

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • I think they were great. What I could have missed was the chance to speak to one employee, who is located in the absolute top of the bank. I know that his/her time is highly valued and therefore, I still provide this question with 9 stars.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I do not think we was introduced so much to this. However, we were introduced to some initiatives initiated by Citi, which sounded great.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes, absolutely.

    5/5
