The Role
I really loved my internship. I got my top choice for the team allocation, which was the healthcare team, and I felt like part of a family
Whenever there was something to get done, the senior analyst would come to me to ask to help them out
A lot. There were only three interns in a team of 11 people hence we were very closely followed
Yes, sometimes even too busy. Tasks tended to accumulate especially during the end of the internship
At the beginning, you need to understand all the internal processes but afterwards, I was given responsibilities while always been guided
Maybe not in my studies, but the attention to details, hard work and communication skills developed will support me for sure in my future career
The Company
Very calm, cozy atmosphere, the team went out altogether for lunches.
HR did a great job in the first week of training to make all the interns know each other
the first week was solely spent on training and development of personal skills.
Subsidised Canteen
Subsidised/Company Gym
Very appealing. I would love to come back to citi, it really felt like a family
The Culture
On Friday night and during the weekend all the interns hanged out together
the cost of living is pretty high, because the office is in canary wharf, london
the office's area is no good: it is dead in the weekends and everyone just flee
Solely in the weekends
