    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Excellent summer internship. I learnt a lot from employees, who were available to teach me new concepts and to show me their latest projects. The culture at the firm is very friendly and open-minded. Innovative ideas are encouraged and can be implemented. The place is very meritocratic. I really enjoyed my summer internship there.

    5/5

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

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very good prospects, especially if you learn fast and enjoy financial markets. It is a plus (but not a pre-requisite) if you know coding or if you learn it during your internship.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Cost of living is fair, as Citi is in Canary Wharf (not the most expensive place in London in terms of housing). Many restaurants, bars, shops, so living and socialising is not that costly. Moreover, Citi organizes many social events to network and enjoy the summer with the other interns.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Very lively, with many bars and restaurants opened.

    5/5

  • 5/5
