About You
It was an amazing experience. The insight was particularly insightful, inspiring, interactive and FUN! We had the opportunity to take part into a trading simulation which was really fun and unique! I particularly loved it. We had also different interviews from Citi's people on different subjects and multiple Q&A. Really enjoyed the entire insight!
I was feeling extremely grateful to take part in this insight. The entire HR team was really positive and supportive.
Fantastic support from the entire HR team! Lots of guidance in case of technical problem! Personally I did not have any technical problem but the HR team and the support team were always there in case of problem or in case of any question about the program. They were answering all of our questions.
I think what I learned about Citi, financial markets, actualities, will be useful for life! We had the chance to do a trading simulation and as it is something that interests me a lot, I am convinced it will be useful for the future. Really inspiring interviews and career paths by the way!
The Company
The insight was very well structured (precise timetable, breaks, time to ask questions after each interview/presentation). Really enjoyable!
Really pleasant. The HR team was particularly positive and supportive. The other participants were brilliant and we did a Zoom call to get to know each other during the insight. The general atmosphere was really fun and we did some very playful activities, like the trading simulation or the M&A study case (there were some exercises). I think it was literally perfect!
The trainings were particularly interesting, interactive and diverse. I think Citi invested a lot in us and made us understand that they really care about us. The HR team was particularly supportive and positive. It was really an amazing experience and an added value for any future internship or professional experience!
We had numerous presentations on the different roles in Citi. We had also the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with Spring Alumni. It was a very good experience and I had the opportunity to really deeply understand what it would be like to have a full time role at Citi!
I think the isight gave me a real understanding of the company culture. We had the opportunity to hear interviews from numerous Citi's people, with different career paths. They described how it was to work at Citi and highlighted the major points of Citi's culture: hard work, loyalty, team work, etc
The content was really qualitative and I think the content will help me in my future career path, as it gave me the opportunity to hear about Citi's people, their career path, their reasons to work for Citi. I had also different trainings on different subjects (trading, M&A case study) and I am convinced it will be useful for me in the future.
Everything Else
I did not have any expenses as it was virtual (due to coronavirus) but I know that Citi would have reimbursed my expenses if I had to go to London and take a plane and an apartment for a few days. I was not paid at all but I guess it is the case in any Spring insight.
I had the opportunity to speak with the HR team, to interact with Citi's speaker through Q&A at the end of each session. I had also the chance to participate in a Q&A with the Spring Alumni and it was an incredible experience to be able to ask them questions about Citi, their career path, their success.
Really nice, well organized. It was virtual but still interactive!
Yes of course! One of the speaker talked about Women in Networking, an association she takes part. The other speakers talked about other activities they were involved in and it was really nice to hear them speaking about that subject.
Yes of course. 100%!
