    The Role

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

    • Some days are good and some less good. Very stressful working in the city in general. People are nice on the internship and they gave me loads of work, but the timing was tough even though the pay was obviously good.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The MD on my desk hasd been so patient with me and quite frankly generous with his time. Most people are like this at Citi I feel, although people get stressed out quite. My supervisor was quite rude, and so were a few of the interns.

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

    • They gave me a lot of support and guidance everyone (well mostly everyone) was happy to help.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Very busy, I worked flat out whilst I was there, but it made the time pass quicker, although I did get quite stressed.

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

    • A fair bit, but at the end of the day I was just an intern, and the desk I was sitting at was quite complex. I wouldn't expect any more working in any other big corporate.

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

    • Training was very good, we had a week of training in the beginning with Fitch, and they gave us market maths teachings during the internship.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Stressed but accommodating, people were friendly. Some days were more relaxed than others.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Fairly well set up, only thing is that I would have liked to be shown around the office building before starting at my desk.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Highly, they trained us in the first week and provided us with training and mentoring opportunities throughout. The markets speakers series was also really enjoyable. We even had an evening with the EMEA CEO.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • 50/50 at this point...about to do my second rotation, I think this rotation went reasonable well considering it's not where I wanted to sit.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Yes, the interns have been fun and we have been organising meet ups amongst ourselves. *would have been nice to have some pre-organised company subsidized activities.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Canary Wharf is expensive. >£5 lunches...even at the canteen which is overpriced.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Nice bars to go to after work. Particularly on Thursdays and Fridays the whole of the Wharf is outside.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes just because we organised them ourselves...not much to do with Citi honestly
