    The Role

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

    4/5

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

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given quite a lot of responsibility and this was definitely a great opportunity to learn.

    3/5

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • Good atmosphere. Dull at times, not a lot of communication nor team bonding social events.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Well organised. Guidance from manager and help from HR throughout.

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

    • Citi put in a lot of investment (eg training materials, access to training sessions, social events, etc.)

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen
    2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • 4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Average. Citi did not do a lot to promote this, unfortunately. We had some events every now and again, but a culture of togetherness was never fostered. This was different from other experiences I had had in the past.

    2/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Canary Wharf is quite expensive. Subsidised lunches definitely helped.

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

    • Over-priced and not that good. Canary Wharf is notorious for that.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were some social events, but not many unfortunately. Citi did not work very hard to foster a culture of togetherness amongst the interns.
