    The Role

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

    • I am enjoying my time at Citi so far, people are very welcoming and helpful, and my involvement on interesting projects helps me making the most out of my internship

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

    • What I thought was a nice approach is the way my supervisors and team mates would get me involved on their current deals, and would get me to do an important part of the work, which made me feel useful and valuable

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

    • My supervisors and manager have been helpful and patient, doing their best to make me get a broad understanding of the job and the industry. They were always keen on responding to any question

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

    • The workload was quite intense, keeping me busy the whole day

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was highly involved in several deals, and needed to be very careful and rigorous as my contribution was generally directly added to the rest. However, my supervisors would still check what I have done, so no pressure

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

    • I am sure the skills I developed or improved through my time at Citi will be very useful in any future job I might do in banking

    5/5
